U.S. Central Command pushed back on a statement attributed to a senior commander in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, saying the claim that Iran fully controls the Strait of Hormuz through its navy was false. According to the statement cited by Odaily and attributed to Jin10, CENTCOM said Iran does not control the waterway and added that Iran has no navy because it was sunk by the U.S. military. The command also said that over the past few months, thousands of ships have passed through the Strait of Hormuz freely, with more than 1 billion barrels of oil moving through the route during that period. The item was published as a brief news update by Odaily.
