The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) spokesman Sardar Nayini denied the claims of United States Energy Secretary Chris Wright that the US Navy successfully escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz.
“None of the American ships will even dare to approach the Sea of Oman, the Persian Gulf, or the Strait of Hormuz during the war,” Nayini said, according to Iranian state news outlet Tasnim News.
Meanwhile, the US secretary deleted his post on X shortly after posting it.
