US CENTCOM: Securing the Passage of Hundreds of Commercial Ships in the Strait of Hormuz Amid Ongoing Iranian Attacks

The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) reported that dozens of commercial vessels have been subjected to Iranian attacks while navigating the vital Strait of Hormuz over the past three months, accusing Tehran of undermining the freedom of international navigation and endangering the lives of sailors. Conversely, CENTCOM confirmed the success of its forces in securing and facilitating the safe passage of hundreds of commercial ships carrying millions of barrels of crude oil since May, ensuring the strait remains open to global trade. These statistics coincide with ongoing US military operations targeting Iranian command centers, naval capabilities, logistics, and drone facilities, aiming to degrade Tehran's ability to threaten maritime corridors.
