US Central Command says American forces and regional partners control the Strait of Hormuz and rejects Iranian claims of control over the waterway, reported as rejecting an IRGC navy commander's claim. According to Middle East Eye, US forces assisted Gulf partners in shipping more than 19 million barrels of crude through the strait the previous day, a figure found only in that report. The reports come via Anadolu Agency, Middle East Eye and a MenchOsint post quoting CENTCOM, and all appear to trace back to the same CENTCOM statement.
