US naval plan and missile reports raise tensions in Hormuz
Reports of missile fire near a United States naval vessel in the Strait of Hormuz have raised tensions as Washington advances a plan to move stranded ships through the waterway.
Iranian state media said two missiles struck a US warship near Jask after the vessel ignored warnings to halt. The Fars news agency cited local sources and said the ship withdrew from the area. The claim has not been verified.
A senior US official denied that any American vessel had been hit, according to Axios.
