Central Command: Hormuz Open, No Future Ops Discussed
The spokesperson for the U.S. Central Command, Tim Hawkins, confirmed that American forces in the region are on high alert to respond to Iranian threats, particularly those related to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard's use of threats to internet cables in the Strait of Hormuz. However, he refrained from providing an accurate assessment of Tehran’s ability to target these infrastructures or revealing potential future operations. He pointed out that the threats reflect Iran's desperation in the face of international pressure, and that the Strait of Hormuz remains open and secure for ships, with 95% of vessels having been safely transited in recent months, carrying over 1.4 billion barrels of oil. Hawkins emphasized that U.S. forces are monitoring the situation closely and working to enhance regional security in cooperation with local partners, amid ongoing tensions between Washington and Tehran over incidents targeting ships and oil flow through the strait.
