MIDDLE EAST — U.S. Central Command on July 30 rejected three claims circulated by Iranian state media from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps concerning dangers in the Strait of Hormuz, destruction of U.S. aircraft, and a commercial tanker breach of the U.S. blockade, while confirming continued enforcement that has redirected 24 commercial vessels as of that date.
CENTCOM stated that more than 20 U.S. warships, hundreds of aircraft, and thousands of service members remain in place to enforce the blockade.
