The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) denied on Monday that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) had successfully attacked the USS Tripoli.
"USS Tripoli has not been attacked and continues to sail in the Arabian Sea in support of Operation Epic Fury. The America-class amphibious assault ship serves as the flagship for the Tripoli Amphibious Ready Group / 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit composed of about 3,500 Sailors and Marines in addition to transport and strike fighter aircraft, as well as amphibious assault and tactical assets," CENTCOM stated.
Earlier during the day, the IRGC claimed it had struck the warship with missiles, forcing it to retreat to the southern Indian Ocean, and also targeted an Israel-linked container ship identified as "SDN7," without disclosing its location.
