Iranian and U.S. authorities issued disparate accounts of a tense naval interaction this week, in which Tehran says its forces repelled an attempt to break through the country\u2019s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Iranian state media reported Friday that a U.S. Navy force tried to enter the Persian Gulf through the strait, but backed off after Iran fired warning shots at the warships.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs part of ongoing operations to counter maritime disruptions, harassment, and the seizure of commercial vessels and oil tankers by the United States military, the intruding destroyers DDG-103 and DDG-8 departed the Sea of Oman for the Indian Ocean,\u201d a statement from the Iranian army, published by state-affiliated media outlet IRNA, read.<\/p>\n

The Iranian army added that several U.S. warships, including the amphibious assault vessel USS Tripoli, were forced to leave the Gulf of Oman after interaction with Iran\u2019s forces.\u00a0<\/p>\n

U.S. Central Command, which oversees military operations in the Middle East, flatly denied Iran\u2019s version of events in a social media post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIranian forces did NOT attack or fire at U.S. Navy warships. Doing so would be a gross violation of the ceasefire. U.S. forces continue to operate freely in regional waters while fully enforcing the ongoing blockade against Iran,\u201d the statement from CENTCOM read.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The U.S. and Iran are operating rival blockades in the same waters, with Washington hoping to crush Tehran\u2019s economy by turning away any ships entering and exiting Iran\u2019s ports.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Iran, meanwhile, has kept the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway connecting the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, closed for more than three months. Its closure has put pressure on international oil and gas prices.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Crude oil prices hovered around $80 a barrel on Friday, and average U.S. gas prices sat at $4.22 a gallon, both well above prewar levels.\u00a0<\/p>\n
