Iran’s navy has prevented the entry of “enemy destroyers” into the Strait of Hormuz, the state news agency IRNA claimed Monday.

Citing a military statement, IRNA reported that “following a firm and rapid warning by its navy, the entry of what it described as U.S. and Israeli enemy destroyers into the Strait of Hormuz was prevented.”

CNN has reached out to US Central Command (CENTCOM) and the White House for a response to the claim.

CENTCOM has said its forces will begin restoring freedom of navigation for commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz on Monday.

“Our support for this defensive mission is essential to regional security and the global economy as we also maintain the naval blockade,” said Adm. Brad Cooper, CENTCOM commander.
