US official denies Iran's claim that American forces targeted Konarak naval base: 'Inaccurate, as usual'

The United States has firmly rejected Iran's claim that its forces struck the Konarak naval base on October 19. A spokesperson for the US told CNN that the Iranian assertion is "inaccurate... as usual." This denial was reported by CNN national security reporter Zachary Cohen. The accusation stemmed from Iranian media alleging that American forces launched projectiles at the base in Sistan and Baluchestan province.

However, there has been no independent verification of the alleged attack or the injuries claimed by Iranian sources.
