US Central Command (Centcom) has rejected claims by Iran that the Strait of Hormuz is under Tehran’s control, and that any approaching American warships would be sunk by Iran’s Navy.
“[The] IRGC’s navy commander has no navy. American forces and regional partners clearly control the Strait of Hormuz,” Centcom says, adding that US forces helped shipping partners move 19 million barrels of crude oil through the waterway.
