CENTCOM Denies Iranian Claims of Warning Shots in Sea of Oman
Iran's Navy claimed it fired warning missiles and Shahed Dana drones at two U.S. destroyers in the Sea of Oman on June 5, 2026. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps alleged the U.S. was harassing maritime traffic and seizing tankers. However, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) explicitly denied the report, stating no fire occurred and that such an action would violate the current ceasefire. CENTCOM confirmed the ongoing naval blockade of Iran remains strictly in effect.
