On Sunday, Iranian state-run media reported that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) attacked an unmanned, remotely-operated U.S. military vessel attempting to enter the Strait of Hormuz. The reported incident occurred shortly after the U.S. military announced that its forces had struck three Iranian oil tankers in response to Navy actions.

In response to the Iranian claims, the U.S. military categorically dismissed the report, labeling the assertion of a successful strike against an American ship as a 'total lie.'
