U.S. Central Command denies claims of Iranian oil tanker hitting a mine, states 95% of vessels in Strait of Hormuz are transiting normally.
A spokesperson for U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) stated that Iran's claim of two oil tankers striking mines in the Strait of Hormuz is "false," noting that the U.S. has cleared mines from the international shipping lanes in the strait. The spokesperson said the Strait of Hormuz remains open for maritime traffic, with 95% of vessels successfully transiting. The spokesperson also stated that Iran is engaging in aggressive acts using missiles and drones, and the attacks on shipping demonstrate the "desperation" of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in the face of a blockade.
