CENTCOM denies Iran’s claim they damaged US warship in Strait of Hormuz

The Pentagon denied Iran’s claim that it struck a U.S. warship near the Strait of Hormuz. CENTCOM rebuked a report from Fars News Agency, which is aligned with the Iranian regime, regarding a U.S. ship forced to turn back from passing through the strait. President Trump announced ‘Project Freedom,’ stating the U.S. would escort stranded ships from the Strait of Hormuz, deploying 15,000 personnel and aircraft.
