Hormuz is open for business: US amid Iran's fire
In the Strait of Hormuz, US military forces report that 97% of vessels have successfully navigated the route without encountering Iranian projectiles, despite ongoing attacks on commercial ships. CENTCOM Spokesperson Navy Captain Tim Hawkins affirmed that coordinated naval protection measures have ensured the safe passage of thousands of commercial ships, including a Singapore-flagged container ship that was recently struck by an Iranian projectile and subsequently sank.
The US military's efforts have facilitated maritime traffic through the strategic waterway, which remains open for business, according to Hawkins. Despite the attacks, the majority of Iranian attempts to hinder commercial vessels have proven unsuccessful. US forces and regional allies continue to provide maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz to maintain uninterrupted international commerce.
