CENTCOM: Strait of Hormuz Is an International Waterway, Not Under Iran's Control
CENTCOM said it hit 140 Iranian military targets as missile and drone exchanges spread across the Gulf, officials said.
- On Monday, the United States military completed a new wave of strikes against Iran, insisting that Tehran does not control the vital Strait of Hormuz. Central Command maintained that maritime traffic through the corridor remains fully operational despite Iranian threats.
- Following a weekend of heavy missile and drone assaults, American forces hit 140 Iranian military targets to degrade Tehran's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the region, while Iran targeted facilities in multiple Gulf states.
- Citing 'recent illegal movements of the United States military forces in the region,' Iran's Persian Gulf Strait Authority claimed Sunday that passage through the waterway is blocked. The Navy-led Joint Maritime Information Centre countered that an 'expanded' southern route remains available.
- Officials in Oman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates confirmed injuries and drone strikes as Iran retaliated against countries hosting American bases. The United States declared Iran 'fully legally responsible' for the attacks.
- President Donald Trump indicated on Sunday that the ceasefire is over while leaving room for negotiations. Iran's blockade attempts continue to drive energy prices higher, fueling global inflation ahead of November's congressional elections.
