Oman: Strategic developments in Muscat
US, Iranian military issue contesting claims over control of Strait of Hormuz US, Iranian military issue contesting claims over control of Strait of Hormuz US Central Command (Centcom) dismissed "Iranian claims" to control the Strait of Hormuz, alleging that the US and its regional partners "control the strait as commercial vessels continue to transit despite unwarranted... aggression" from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). In a post on X on Thursday, Centcom also denied that the IRGC had killed hundreds of US service members in Jordan and that a Singapore-flagged container ship struck a naval mine in the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Iran's IRIB news reported that Iranian army commander Amir Hatami said the strait is under “full surveillance” by the army and the IRGC, adding that “not a single enemy vessel has been able to enter the maritime space of Oman and the Strait of Hormuz.”
