Iranian forces reportedly warned an American destroyer during the de-mining operation of the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC Navy denied that any U.S. ships passed through the Strait, stating that permission to pass is granted only to non-military vessels. The U.N. has reached out to U.K. Central Command (Centcom) for comment on the reported radio message. The Iranian government has previously laid mines in the waterway in response to U.,S. and Israel strikes, which led to reduced shipping through the strait.
