Shafaq News- Washington

The US Central Command (CENTCOM) on Friday denied reports that Iran had fired warning shots at American warships in the Gulf of Oman.

🚫 CLAIM: Iran claims it fired warning shots at U.S. warships in the Gulf of Oman, forcing American vessels to “retreat” toward the Indian Ocean. FALSE. ✅TRUTH: Iranian forces did NOT attack or fire at U.S. Navy warships. Doing so would be a gross violation of the ceasefire.… pic.twitter.com/PdfC1EMZTP
