Iran Denies Striking Unmanned US Vessel in Strait of Hormuz
Iran claimed it struck an unmanned US vessel trying to enter the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday, but the US military denied this as a 'total lie.'
The incident occurred a day after the US military said it had struck three Iranian oil tankers in response to Navy warships being targeted with ballistic missiles.
Experts have described this escalation as dangerous, given Iran's previous attacks on commercial shipping.
The conflict began on February 28 when the US and Israel attacked Iran, but since a fragile ceasefire agreement was announced in June, fighting has persisted.
