US Central Command rejected Iran's claim that it had targeted a US Navy destroyer in the Gulf of Oman, saying US military assets at sea were operating safely and without disruption.

"Iran is lying. U.S. military assets at sea continue to fly, sail, and operate safely and unimpeded," CENTCOM said in a post on X.
