The US Central Command (CENTCOM) on Friday rejected Iranian claims that its navy fired warning shots at US warships in the Gulf of Oman.

Iran’s navy had earlier said it launched warning missiles and drones toward US vessels, accusing the US Navy of harassing maritime traffic and seizing commercial ships and oil tankers, according to Iranian state media.

CENTCOM responded on X, calling the Iranian claims “FALSE” and saying that Iranian forces did not attack or fire at US warships. “Doing so would be a gross violation of the ceasefire. US forces continue to operate freely in regional waters while fully enforcing the ongoing blockade against Iran,” the tweet said.
