Oddly enough, I believe the IRGC over the US. Guess that happens when you have a Liar-in-Chief.
Well trump literally lies aboyt everything so Iran is more reliable a source
This is a preparation for a massive attack and possibly land invasion by the US navy. If Fars news is true for once ! then the evil islamic regime just handed the excuse to Trump to bypass the legal limbo for erasing the evil ishlamic regime. Thank you Trump and Bibi. keep going. From Iranians.
Trump…..Captain on the Titanic…Full Steam Ahead!!!!!!!!!〰〰〰〰📐〰〰〰〰🚢〰〰…
taco has no balls,, just do it
America is a liar
Lmao 😂😂😂 The US is getting
It's arse handed to it…
Can't tell about the actual war between the US and Iran, but Iran sure is getting ahead of the US in the propaganda war.
Not good for trump, the propaganda president! 😂
I imagine if Iran did hit a US warship, it be the end of Iran.
My god donald just lies and lies and lies. He expects us to believe he can fight an entire war and we never get hit or lose troops. Hes hiding dead and injured troops, hes constantly lying about everything. What do we expect, we elected a felon pedophile
Another disgruntled laundry sailor causing fire on the laundry room on these ships. Not hit by missiles just another laundry fire lol
Even if the american ship was hit, they're propaganda machine won't admit it
Man.. All that UAE cheap oil now is gonna flood our markets ❤😊
Thanks Iran 🇮🇷❤️🇧🇩
how many ships have us navy escorted through hormuz? 😂😂😂😂
lol Well, of course the US denied/lied! That's their modus operandi! Nothing new. Same sh*t, different day.
In this day of constant video, if there isn't one, then it didn't happen. AI usage can be determined later.
So, talk is talk.
Kkkkk who is the ship to be tested first no trump is dreaming day light
Is this a truth US has rights to RETALIATE with full might against Iran.
IN normal circumstances such provocation would met with devastating response to agressor side.
But I'm afraid that USA run out of Fire-power.

Iran can legally, by international law, shut the entire Strait of Hormuz when e.g. attacked by the US!
Strait of Hormuz is 21 nautical miles wide, and the contiguous zone extends up to 24 nautical miles:
International Law:
Territorial waters (or territorial sea) extend up to 12 nautical miles (nmi) from the baseline, providing full coastal state sovereignty. The contiguous zone extends from 12 to 24 nmi, allowing limited, specialized jurisdiction for customs, fiscal, immigration, sanitary, and security laws.
1. Territorial Sea (0–12 nmi): The coastal state exercises full sovereignty, including air space, water surface, seabed, and subsoil. Foreign ships enjoy "innocent passage," but are subject to local laws.
2. Contiguous Zone (12–24 nmi): A "buffer zone" where the coastal state has limited control. It cannot exercise full sovereignty but can prevent/punish violations of its domestic laws (customs, immigration, INCLUDING WAR! etc.) that occurred within its territory.Key Differences: Sovereignty is total in the territorial sea, while only functional/limited in the contiguous zone.Relationship: The contiguous zone exists only in the space immediately beyond the territorial sea.
Btw; there are no ceasefire, the US ended that the minute they blocked The Gulf of Oman, and when firing on an Iranian civil cargo ship (also an illegal by international law). Actually; The entire Israeli/US war of aggression on Iran is illegal by international law! (look it up!)
Um, hard one, since both Trump and Iranian state media are pathological liars.
Good job puddingbrain
Absolutely love BBC news. period.
Trump 🇺🇸 🌎 🇺🇸
This means, U.S. warships have actually been struck by Iran. Stop listening to trump he’s a pathological liar. Great job Iran!!!🇮🇷 ❤❤❤❤
Can't believe anything that comes out of the mouths of TRumps administration.
US Laundry Fire Propaganda Loading Again 😂
Good for the Iranians .. It is IRANIAN water .. the US thinks they can escort ships in the Strait .. how about if Iranian ships escort ships delivering oil to Cuba ? The Yanks are blocking Cuba illegally for 60+ years but it is not okay for the Iranians to protect THEIR waters ? You yanks are NOT that important and cannot force your will onto other independent countries.
It is the US that is accelerating the conflict by invading Iranian waters
Who would believe the fantastic liar in the white house?
US is turning in to Russia now. Trump has his own truth and reality.
If a ship got hit, it will need to get repaired, so we'll all have photos from the shipyard before too long.
It's impossible to trust
Dr. Donald Christ or Whiskey Pete.
I actually believe Iran 😆🤣 boy, trump sure made America ''Great again''
I tend to believe iran more than the united states at this point.
IRGC Never said they hit, they said they fire a worring shots
