U.S. Central Command:
No U.S. Navy warship has been struck; all IRGC attempted attacks failed.
Meanwhile, U.S. forces have successfully destroyed 10 Iranian tankers in just the last week.
These vessels were part of a multibillion-dollar shadow network that funds the IRGC, and Iran cannot defend them.

Supplementary: Trump's narrative of "Iran's acceptance" versus the field reality
539 At the same time as the U.S. tactically withdrew new additional clauses from the draft agreement, Donald Trump, increasing his threatening tone on social media, tries to build the narrative of "Iran's surrender to bombing"; a narrative that is far from the field reality of the negotiations.
539 According to information from Fars reporter, about two weeks ago the draft memorandum of understanding between the negotiating teams was almost finalized and was only awaiting final approval in Tehran and Washington. But during this review, Trump once again, contrary to the agreement of the American negotiators who had accepted Iran's draft, demanded the addition of several new details. In response, Iran announced that it would not review the new text and practically did not respond to the U.S.
539 After that, scattered tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and southern Iran, as well as the attack on Dahiyeh, effectively put the negotiation file on hold.
539 But from Wednesday, the Qatari team entered the field as mediator and announced the U.S. withdrawal from those same new additional clauses; that is, a return to the original text that was still awaiting final approval in Iran.
539 Along with this noticeable U.S. retreat, Trump launched a media operation and threatening rhetoric to imply that Iran had retreated under bombing pressure. But the reality is that so far, not only has Iran not given a final response, but it is the U.S. that has returned to its previous demand.
539 Of course, it seems that since the U.S. has accepted Iran's proposed text, the likelihood of this text being approved by the main authorities of the system is high.
