US denies Iranian claim of strike on Naval destroyer in Strait of Hormuz

Iran claimed a U.S. Navy destroyer was struck in the Strait of Hormuz, but the U.S. denied the claim. The U.S. is deploying significant military resources, including naval ships and aircraft, as part of ‘Project Freedom’ to restore shipping through the waterway. The ongoing blockade of Iranian ports is disrupting global trade and driving up energy prices.
