Iran asserts missile attack on US warships in Strait of Hormuz; US refutes claims of damage

Iran's IRGC claims to have struck a US aircraft carrier and destroyer with ballistic missiles in the Strait of Hormuz, alleging damage and withdrawal. This was reportedly in retaliation for US attacks on Iranian oil tankers. US Central Command denies any vessels were hit or damaged, calling the Iranian assertion false, while confirming prior strikes on Iranian oil carriers funding the IRGC. This incident highlights escalating tensions in a critical maritime chokepoint.
