# Iran says it had forced a US warship from entering the Strait of Hormuz, but a US official denied a report it had been struck by Iranian missiles. Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency reports two missiles hit the vessel at the southern entrance to the strait. Iran has blocked nearly all shipping into and out of the Gulf apart from its own since the start of the war, cutting off around a fifth of the world’s oil and gas shipments and sending oil prices soaring by 50-percent or more.
