Iran live updates: UAE says it's intercepting Iranian missiles and drones

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said no vessels have recently gone through the Strait of Hormuz, hours after the U.S. Central Command said two US-flagged commercial vessels had transited the waterway.

"No commercial vessel or oil tanker has passed through the Strait of Hormuz in the past few hours," the IRGC said in a statement. "The claims made by American officials are baseless and entirely false. Any maritime movements that go against the declared principles of the IRGC Navy will face serious risks, and any vessels that violate these principles will be decisively stopped."

CENTCOM had said earlier that American forces are "actively assisting efforts to restore transit for commercial shipping" and that two U.S.-flagged merchant vessels "have successfully transited through the Strait of Hormuz and are safely headed on their journey."

The United Arab Emirates' Foreign Ministry said on Monday that a tanker affiliated with the state-run Abu Dhabi National Oil Company was targeted by two drones while transiting the Strait of Hormuz in what it called an "Iranian terrorist attack."

U.S. Central Command on Monday denied a report from Iran's semi-official Fars News Agency claiming that an American warship was hit by two missiles while trying to transit the Strait of Hormuz.

"No U.S. Navy ships have been struck. U.S. forces are supporting Project Freedom and enforcing the naval blockade on Iranian ports," CENTCOM said in a post to X.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said during a Monday press conference that Tehran received a U.S. counter-proposal to end the war via mediators in Pakistan.

"The U.S. message was received through Pakistan and I will not discuss the details of the issues raised at this time, because these issues are still under review," Baghaei said.

"The issues raised about enrichment or nuclear materials are purely speculative and, at this stage, we are not talking about anything other than stopping the war completely," Baghaei said, adding, "The direction we will take in the future will be determined in the future."
