[Grammar] Transitive...

The report claimed that the rogue nation was stocking up nuclear weapons.

In the above sentence, is "claimed" a "transitive" verb? I don't see any direct object of "claimed".

Thanks,

The direct object is the clause starting with 'that' and ending with 'weapons'.

EDIT: Please wait for a teacher's advice, altough I am pretty sure my answer is correct
