[U.S. Central Command: No U.S. Navy Ships Were Attacked] BlockBeats News, September 9, the U.S. Central Command stated that the claim by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) that they attacked two U.S. Navy destroyers operating in the Middle East is completely false. No U.S. Navy ships were attacked; all IRGC attack attempts failed. Meanwhile, U.S. forces successfully destroyed 10 Iranian oil tankers over the past week. These vessels were part of a multibillion-dollar shadow network that funds the IRGC, which Iran was unable to protect.
