The US Central Command (CENTCOM) has denied Iranian claims that any warning shots were fired at US Navy vessels in the Gulf of Oman or Arabian Sea.

In a statement, CENTCOM said that Iranian forces did not attack or fire upon US warships.

"Iranian forces did NOT attack or fire at U.S. Navy warships. Doing so would be a gross violation of the ceasefire. U.S. forces continue to operate freely in regional waters while fully enforcing the ongoing blockade against Iran," the statement read.
