The US military on Friday rejected Iran’s claim that it fired warning shots at American warships, saying it would have been a serious breach of the fragile ceasefire between the two countries.

“Iranian forces did NOT attack or fire at US Navy warships. Doing so would be a gross violation of the ceasefire,” US Central Command, which oversees American forces in the Middle East, said in a post on X.
