Iranian state media counters US claims, says 5 civilians killed in "clumsy" Hormuz Strait strike

Tehran [Iran], May 5 (ANI): Iranian state media has countered claims made by the United States regarding a recent military engagement in the Strait of Hormuz, asserting that the vessels targeted were civilian craft rather than military boats. Reports indicate that the six 'so-called Iranian small boats' fired upon by US forces on Monday were not associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
