The US Central Command (CENTCOM) has dismissed three Iranian claims made in the past 24 hours. CENTCOM stated that the US and regional partners continue to control the Strait of Hormuz, refuting the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' (IRGC) claim of authority. Regarding a Singapore-flagged container ship, CENTCOM countered the IRGC's assertion that it sank after hitting a naval mine, stating instead that the civilian vessel was hit by an Iranian projectile and sank while being towed to shore. Additionally, CENTCOM dismissed claims that the IRGC killed hundreds of US service members in Jordan, clarifying that three American service members were killed in action in July as partner forces defended against Iranian attacks.
