The U.S. military confirms the southern route through the Strait of Hormuz is free and open for all commercial vessels, with more than 1,000 ships assisted over the past three months despite Iranian aggression.
U.S. Central Command stated that the southern transit route through the Strait of Hormuz continues to operate freely for all commercial vessels. Over the past three months, American forces have assisted more than 1,000 vessels in successfully navigating the international waterway, despite what it called unwarranted Iranian aggression.
