Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Gharibabadi stated that no warships are allowed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

According to CCTV news reports, Iran stated that the U.S. Navy destroyers "Frank E. Peterson" and "Michael Murphy" attempted to "infiltrate" the Strait of Hormuz the previous day, and indicated that the U.S. warships used the cover of the ceasefire conditions to create false propaganda of "successful passage" and to influence the ongoing U.S.-Iran negotiations.Iran claimed that the two warships attempted to disguise themselves as Omani merchant vessels sailing off the southern coast of Oman, choosing a dangerous route that was very close to the coast and had a shallow draft, hoping to enter the Persian Gulf through "covert" movements and the "negligence" of the Iranian military during the ceasefire. The Iranian Navy ultimately intercepted them at the entrance to the Persian Gulf. The two destroyers were forced to withdraw to the Oman Sea without being able to enter the Strait of Hormuz.

According to Jinshi reports, U.S. President Trump stated that many countries will send warships alongside the United States to keep the Strait of Hormuz open. He hopes that countries such as France, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom will send warships to the area, so that the Strait of Hormuz no longer poses a threat. The U.S. will heavily bomb the coastal areas of Iran and continuously sink Iranian ships. In any case, we will soon open up the Strait of Hormuz.

Iranian Foreign Minister Amir-Abdollahian said today (March 5) that the United States will "eventually regret the precedent it has set" by attacking an Iranian warship in international waters. Amir-Abdollahian stated on social media that the Iranian frigate was a "guest of the Indian Navy," carrying about 130 people, and was attacked in international waters 2,000 miles (approximately 3,218 kilometers) from the Iranian coast without any prior warning.U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said on the 4th that a U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship on the 3rd in the Indian Ocean with a torpedo, which the Iranian vessel believed was sailing safely in international waters.

According to Jinshi citing Reuters, U.S. officials revealed on Wednesday that the U.S. military launched an attack near the coast of Sri Lanka, hitting an Iranian warship.An official stated that the attack was carried out by a U.S. submarine. Sri Lankan authorities reported that they had rescued 32 people from the ship and recovered several bodies.
