Iran warns ships against 'illegal' routes in Strait of Hormuz, urges restraint
Capital.grLO·IR·1 day ago
US Central Command denies Iranian assertions of controlling the Strait of Hormuz, stating maritime routes remain open with over 1 billion barrels of crude transiting in recent months. The Iranian claim, if accurate, would mark a significant escalation in Gulf tensions, but US military data contradicts it. The dispute underscores ongoing friction over the strategic chokepoint, though no physical disruption is reported.
