🚨 BREAKING: 🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran has denied U.S. claims that an oil tanker was escorted through the Strait of Hormuz.

Iranian officials say no U.S.-escorted tanker passed through the strait, calling the earlier claim false and warning that any movement by U.S. naval forces in the area could face a response.

The dispute began after a U.S. Energy Secretary post claiming a successful Navy escort was later deleted, with the White House clarifying that no escort operation actually occurred.

The Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil route carrying roughly 20% of the world’s crude shipments, remains highly tense amid the ongoing conflict.
