US Military Denies Warship Hits in Hormuz as Iran Claims Strait Closed to All Vessels

Summary
No U.S. warships were struck in the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. military said Wednesday, rejecting Iranian state media reports that missiles and drones had targeted American ships near the waterway.
Commercial vessels are still moving through the strait, U.S. Central Command said in a separate X post, countering a statement from Iran's top joint military command that the passage was closed to any ships.
Iranian media had described only initial indications of attacks, leaving Washington's denial and the continued ship traffic as the clearest immediate evidence from the area.
