CENTCOM claims Hormuz control as Iran sinks container ship amid record attacks
U.S. Central Command asserts it controls the Strait of Hormuz, claiming 97% of ships transit safely despite Iranian attacks. However, the Singapore-flagged GFS Pride sank after being struck, and maritime experts note traffic remains at 22% of pre-war levels. Iran’s IRGC chief threatens to sink U.S. warships, while oil prices spike due to the ongoing conflict.
