Two US Navy guided-missile destroyers have reportedly passed through the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, the first such transit through the key global waterway since the start of the war with Iran.
The warships' passage was not coordinated with authorities in Tehran, US media outlet Axios said.
Earlier, there was a report that at least one US warship made a u-turn after Iran's warning to strike within 30 minutes if it did not.
The two ships, however, passed through the strait with no issues reported, The Wall Street Journal reported citing three US officials.
US President Donald Trump said that “we are now starting the process of clearing out" the narrow sea passage in the Persian Gulf.
Peace talks were, meanwhile, being held in Islamabad with Pakistan's mediation.
Iran has not yet reacted.
