TEHRAN - Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Wednesday its navy has targeted a US destroyer in the Gulf of Oman that sought to approach Iranian territorial waters.
In a statement published by its official outlet Sepah News, the IRGC said its navy tracked US "aggressive actions, violations of the regulations of the Strait of Hormuz and malicious acts against Iranian commercial vessels in the Gulf of Oman," identified the command center aboard a US destroyer, and struck it.
The IRGC said its navy is closely watching US and Israeli "enemies" and will respond instantly to any hostile move.
The US Central Command later denied the claim on social media platform X, saying US military assets at sea continue to operate "safely and unimpeded."
Separately, the IRGC denied firing any missile or drone at a passenger terminal at Kuwait International Airport, saying the damage to the terminal was caused by a malfunctioning US Patriot missile system, according to Sepah News.
