The Navy Said It Resumed Hormuz Escorts. Then CENTCOM Said It Didn't.

Two US military press offices gave incompatible versions of Hormuz escort policy within the same news cycle, while Iranian channels fired warning shots at four unnamed vessels. The story is not what happened in the Strait, it is who to believe about what happened.

Desk note: Monexus framed this as a story about competing US press functions and Iranian information operations, rather than as a discrete naval incident. The wire record as of 28 May 2026 does not support a definitive account of what happened in the Strait on that date; the analytical value lies in reading the signals together.
