U.S. military denies Iran's claim it struck U.S. warship in Strait of Hormuz

U.S. Central Command denied Iranian state media's claim that a U.S. warship was struck by missiles in the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. is supporting ‘Project Freedom’ to counter Iran’s naval blockade and is concerned about the energy supply shock and rising oil prices. Despite a temporary truce, peace negotiations between the U.S. and Iran remain stalled.
