U.S. Central Command (Centcom) on Monday dismissed a claim from Iranian state media that a U.S. warship was hit by Iranian missiles.
“CLAIM: Iranian state media claims that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps hit a U.S. warship with two missiles,” Centcom said in a post on the social platform X early Monday morning.
“TRUTH: No U.S. Navy ships have been struck. U.S. forces are supporting Project Freedom and enforcing the naval blockade on Iranian ports,” Centcom added, referencing an effort announced by President Trump on Sunday to free up ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran’s Tasnim news agency, in a Monday post on the social platform X translated from Persian by the artificial intelligence tool Grok, posted what it said was a statement from the country’s armed forces.
“With the decisive and swift warning from the Navy of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the entry of enemy American Zionist destroyers into the Strait of Hormuz area was prevented,” the reported statement posted by the semi-official outlet linked with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps reads

I’m not rooting for those loons believe me :/
Sorry it is inconveniencing you.
It’s just 15 days to flatten the Persians.
What BS, why are they able to put out ANY information, false or otherwise...
WW II WENT ON MUCH LONGER & EVERYONE HAD TO DEAL WITH “RATION COUPONS”.
TODAY’S SNOWFLAKES WOULD BE LIVID.
The war is not dragging on and on. To believe that is just stupidity or worse political propaganda placing politics ahead of America
Perhaps, sadly playing to elections instead of doing what is right has got us to this state
What good is “winning”
elections if status quo is maintained in the swamp and deep state.
If simply the price of gas is what should determine what we should do and what is right or wrong, then let mullahs get nukes and everything will be fine😎
Iran has been two weeks away from having a nuclear weapon for the last twenty years.
The Project Freedom was to start Monday.
The daylight hours of Monday have pass in the Gulf.
Anyone hear of any ships being escorted through?
Of even a US ship entering?
Just look at this posters “in forum” posts.
Every post is designed to cast doubt on what President Trump and Republicans are trying to do.
Every post is negative......Every single one.
Day after day after day.
It has been beyond boring for a long time now
US says two American merchant ships pass through Strait of Hormuz
Unlike Iraq though the pursuit in question has been, and remains, real, and in earnest.
Perhaps given your keen sense of perfect timing in life-and-death matters, between highly-populated states long at odds with each other, you should offer your services to the U.S. Department of State.
The comment stands, MullahFan
you simply love to lie
“ WW II WENT ON MUCH LONGER & EVERYONE HAD TO DEAL WITH “RATION COUPONS”.

1. There is only one reason to enrich to 60%.
2. Maybe take their word saying they will have nuclear weapons
3. Maybe take their word when they say death to America
4. No reason to have the offensive weapons and the amounts they have for defense, and much like Russia, no one was threatening them with attack
5. Islam not only allows but encourages lying to infidels
6. Ask Jefferson about 5.
7. 47 years of kicking the can
Conservatives always turn and bite the hand that feeds them. That’s why there is no conservative party. Conservatives are a fickle lot.
There is also a large contingent of neo isolationists who live under rocks and are unable to see the world that lies beyond the perimeter of the rock they live under.
A brilliantly successful Republican President is seen with disfavor for not toeing their purist and very narrow line
