No US Navy ships were hit, US Central Command said on Monday, after Iran said it had forced a US warship to turn back.
Earlier, state TV said Iran’s Navy stopped ‘American-Zionist’ warships from entering the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, while Fars news agency said after it ignored Iranian warnings.
Iran warned US forces on Monday not to enter the strategic waterway after President Donald Trump said the United States would ‘guide’ ships stranded in the Gulf by the US and Israel war against Iran.

Trump gave few details about the plan to help ships and their crews who are stranded in the vital waterway and are running out of food and other supplies more than two months into the conflict.
“We have told these countries that we will guide their ships safely out of these restricted waterways so they can freely and skillfully go about their business,” Trump said in a post on his Truth Social website on Sunday.
