US Central Command dismisses reports of an attack on its naval assets, insisting that all ships continue to sail safely and unimpeded. CENTCOM rejects Iranian claims of naval strike, says US assets operate 'unimpeded'.
/ AP Iran's Navy has said that it targeted a US destroyer in the Gulf of Oman that it described as the "command-and-control centre" behind American attacks against Iranian commercial vessels. In a statement, the Navy's public relations office said the move came after what it described as US "aggressive actions," violations of regulations in the Strait of Hormuz and attacks against Iranian commercial shipping in the Gulf of Oman.
The statement said Iranian naval forces identified and targeted a US destroyer that was attempting to approach Iranian territorial waters in the Gulf of Oman.
"The Navy of the Islamic Republic of Iran targeted the command-and-control centre of these hostile actions, stationed aboard a US destroyer," the statement said. The Navy said its naval forces were continuing to monitor what it described as "US-Zionist" activities in the region and warned of further retaliation.

US military assets at sea continue to fly, sail, and operate safely and unimpeded," CENTCOM said on X. In a separate development, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned on Wednesday that any attack on the Lebanese capital, Beirut, would trigger a "full-scale resumption" of the Middle East war, as Israel pressed its attacks in southern Lebanon.
"Any attack on Beirut will have grave consequences and will lead to a full-scale resumption of the war," theAraghchi said earlier that Tehran would continue military strikes against sites allegedly used in attacks on Iran, after the Iranian Revolutionary Guards fired missiles on Kuwait and Bahrain.
