More Lies from Trump Parroted by Massa Media: Iran Denies the US Crossed the Hormuz, says False Claims Promote an Illusory Victory and Manipulate Markets. A Small US Vessel was Forced to Retreat

From [HERE] A senior Iranian political-security source told Al Mayadeen that the United States failed in its attempt to cross the Strait of Hormuz, dismissing reports of achievements as the fabrication of facts meant to promote an illusory victory in the media. 

The source absolutely denied claims about the US vessel crossing the Strait, telling Al Mayadeen that media outlets close to the White House are reporting on false information amid another field setback. 

They added that the alleged vessel was a small boat that made a strenuous attempt to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, adding that it was fully surrounded and given a firm warning by Iranian forces, forcing the US vessel to retreat and change course. 

The source added to Al Mayadeen that these claims by US media stem from a continued “domino effect” of US failures and are being promoted as part of an effort to manufacture consent aimed at influencing global energy market prices.
