June 10 (Reuters) - No U.S. warships have been struck in the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. military said on Wednesday, after Iran's state media said initial reports indicated U.S. ships near the strait were targeted by missile and drones launched by Iranian armed forces.

Commercial ships also continue to transit in and out of the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. Central Command said in a separate post on X after Iran's top joint military command said the strait was closed for the passage of any vessels.
