Description

The US military has denied a claim made in Iranian state media that Iran hit an American warship trying to enter the Strait of Hormuz. It comes hours after President Donald Trump said the US would help stranded ships out of the waterway. An estimated 20,000 seafarers on 2,000 ships have been stuck in the strait since the US-Iran war began in February.

"State media not very reliable"... That used to apply to Iran's state media. Now it applies even more to the US state media.
