Withdrawn entry
This entry was withdrawn from the Record on July 7, 2026. Reason: Withdrawn: each side blames the other for the exchange, and the public evidence cannot settle which account is right. It stays here so existing links still work.
As previously published:
Three U.S. Navy destroyers transited the Strait of Hormuz and only intercepted unprovoked Iranian attacks. We hit them harder.
