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 think President Trump has been conducting this almost perfectly.
How many times have they not held up to agreements, lies, terrorist attacks, murdering their own? They cannot be trusted, period. They will agree to anything, then secretly rebuild. The IRGC must be taken out completely.
You have an appropriate nickname but if this carries on into the midterms it wont be too promising put it that way
Your isolationist perception is mostly ignorane and the remainder political disgust.
So you think im naive...
Mullah Fan spreads the IRGC lies from his comfy flat in London
No, we think you’re simply a liar.
Actually headline is the opposite and leads with Centcom
🤔
My comment is that it’s just dragging on a bit. Wasn’t it meant to over by now? Isn’t that what Graham, etc. said?
Anything but!
Can you give this week’s Lotto numbers while you are at it?
No, not naive.
Perhaps gullible and responsive to the isolationist right and all of the political left hating Trump more than they love America. Perhaps you think more about the horrors of change, the cost and debt, than the world change the President is implementing.
They exist and have a right to their point of view
I’ve actually refrained from posting them as I just get flamed over and over.
You can deal with the political reality down the line (mid-terms). Just dont seem shocked if it goes badly.
Dragging on? How sweaty are your pearls from being clutched so hard?
Have you bought gas lately?
What you call the “isolationist right” are actually correct on this. A war dragging on and drifting is what they warned about
The DNC’s “Princess media” kids are retarded and out of control. They keep having wet dreams about their beloved Iran.
I understand your melancholy.
It IS over.
Like the original “Desert Storm” was over, only to have to return 10 years later.
