The US struck an Iranian Jamaran-class corvette in the Gulf of Oman, sinking the vessel, US Central Command confirmed on Sunday.
The vessel was struck by the US military as part of Operation Epic Fury, and is sinking at Chah Bahar pier, southeast Iran, CENTCOM added.
The statement did not specify whether the vessel was part of the Iranian military navy or the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' naval force.
CENTCOM also cited US President Donald Trump's call for "members of Iran's armed forces, IRGC, and police to 'lay down your weapons,'"
"Abandon ship," CENTCOM's statement concluded.
CENTCOM denies claim Iran struck USS Abraham Lincoln
Later on Sunday, CENTCOM issued a statement denying Iranian claims that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps successfully struck the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier positioned in the Middle East.
"Iran’s IRGC claims to have struck USS Abraham Lincoln with ballistic missiles. LIE," CENTCOM wrote on X.
"The Lincoln was not hit. The missiles launched didn’t even come close," the statement added.
"The Lincoln continues to launch aircraft in support of CENTCOM’s relentless campaign to defend the American people by eliminating threats from the Iranian regime," the statement concluded, sharing pictures of deck and flight crews conducting fighter jet launch operations to strike Iran.
This is a developing story.
