Svmuu reported that the U.S. Central Command announced that U.S. forces are supporting the "Freedom of Navigation" plan and implementing a maritime blockade on Iranian ports. Additionally, the U.S. Central Command denied that Iran had used a missile to attack a U.S. Navy vessel, claiming it is purely Iranian propaganda. "They made it up. It's not true."
A source stated that Tehran is prepared for any potential situation and will never allow the U.S. to bully Iran. Iran will not permit U.S. warships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. (Jin Shi)
