US Central Command said on Sept. 9 that claims by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or IRGC, that it had struck two US Navy destroyers operating in the Middle East were false. The command said no US Navy warship was hit and that all IRGC attack attempts failed. In the same statement, the US military said it had destroyed 10 Iranian tankers over the past week. It described the vessels as part of a multibillion-dollar shadow network that funds the IRGC, adding that Iran was unable to protect them. The remarks were cited by BlockBeats in a brief news update.
