Iran Rejects Pentagon Claim of ‘Harassment’ in Strait of Hormuz A US Coast Guard Cutter fired warning shots at Iranian boats in the waters
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) rejected claims from the Pentagon that Iranian boats “harassed” US warships in the Strait of Hormuz, an incident that led to a US Coast Guard Cutter firing 30 warning shots.
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby claimed on Monday that the Iranian vessels had been acting “very aggressively.” But the IRGC said its patrol vessels encountered the US warships during “routine daily missions in the territorial waters.” The Coast Guard Cutter was accompanied by six US Navy ships, including a guided-missile submarine.
