US declares Strait of Hormuz accessible following Iran's closure claim
The United States stated that the Strait of Hormuz remains "open to all vessels" shortly after Iran claimed to have shut it down during a period of rising friction between the two nations. US Central Command noted that American forces are ready to protect the freedom of navigation in the face of unjustified Iranian hostility. This follows a US strike on 140 military sites in Iran on Saturday, which was a response to an Iranian attack on a vessel within the Strait.
