U.S. Army: Strait of Hormuz remains open, Iran blockade ongoing
The article discusses the status of the Strait of Hormuz amid ongoing Iranian attacks on commercial ships. The commander of the U.S. Central Command confirmed that the strait remains open for navigation despite these attacks, with approximately 400 ships passing through last week. The United States and its regional allies have achieved full control over the strait, helping to ship over 100 million barrels of oil, and are actively working to protect vessels from Iranian mines. Cooper emphasized that U.S. measures have prevented Iran from exporting oil worth at least $25 billion and have imposed a ban on maritime exports and imports, with the blockade continuing only for humanitarian aid. These restrictions have hurt the Iranian Revolutionary Guard's finances and reduced its capacity to fund operations. The article also reviewed military operations that lasted 38 days, which limited Iran’s ability to carry out attacks beyond its borders. Over 50,000 U.S. troops are present in the region to safeguard navigation and counter Iranian attacks.
