NEWS: Two U.S. Navy destroyers were forced to turn back while attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz after Iran’s Revolutionary Guard threatened them and launched a drone toward the ships, per Bloomberg citing a regional intelligence official. This directly contradicts CENTCOM's story and reports pushed by some American media outlets citing U.S. officials.

Bloomberg reporting that the US claim of “operations to deal with mining” is a lie.
The ships attempted to navigate the Strait and turned back after receiving threats from the IRGC.
The CENTCOM claim of an operation was a lie so that the US wouldn’t look weak.

Two U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyers, identified as the Pentagon as the USS Frank E. Peterson (DDG-121) and USS Michael Murphy (DDG-112), passed through the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, according to three U.S. officials, marking the first transit of American warships through the waterway since the start of the Iran War. The two vessels passed through the strait and entered the Persian Gulf, completing a “freedom-of-navigation mission” and suffering no issues, with the destroyers having since withdrawn, the officials told the Wall Street Journal.

@MinnesotaFan92 @BarakRavid @axios Fake. The ship was forced to turn back. Politics is war, and the truth is the only casualty. No one crossed the strait without the authorization of the mullahs.

@BarakRavid @axios Conflicting information about the US ships going through the Straits. What is your source while Iran claims they will not allow this to happen? And if they are doing it- how are they avoiding the mines?

@nypost Possible fake news, Iran says this didn't happen. Whos lying?

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 US destroyer forced to turn back from Hormuz strait after Iran warning
Iran reportedly gave the warship 30 minutes to change course or be targeted.
PressTV: The destroyer reversed direction immediately.
Axios claimed US ships passed through for “freedom of navigation” — but Iranian officials pushed back hard, saying the ships turned around and headed back to the Arabian Sea.
A US official earlier admitted America was “intimidated” by Iran.
Meanwhile, Trump said the US is “starting the process” of clearing sea mines from the strait for the world.
Who’s really in control of Hormuz?

@owenjonesjourno @BarakRavid Did you ever verify Iranian garbage state media claims?
English

@BarakRavid Can I ask - do you ever verify the claims you’re spoon fed by US and Israeli officials?
Where is the line, as you see it, between being a journalist and a press officer?
English

A U.S. official tells me the U.S. did not receive such a warning
Tasnim News Agency@Tasnimnews_EN
Iran explicitly informed the Pakistani mediator that if the vessel continued its movement it would be targeted within 30 minutes and the Iran-US negotiations would be damaged.
