US Central Command: Shipping in Hormuz secure under coordinated protection

US Central Command has confirmed that commercial shipping continues through the Strait of Hormuz, thanks to coordinated protection provided by US and regional forces.

In a post on X, the command added that Iran’s ambassador to the International Maritime Organization recently claimed that the US military uses threatening, abusive, and provocative language toward Iranian sailors, causing severe psychological stress for civilian crews. However, CENTCOM stated that this allegation is unfounded.

CENTCOM further noted that the highly effective US-imposed siege on Iran has been in place for months, and all relevant parties were professionally notified. It emphasized that Iran is the only country attacking civilian sailors passing through territorial waters.
