CENTCOM spokesman Navy Col. Tim Hawkins said the vast majority of Iranian attempts to attack ships in the Strait of Hormuz have failed and the waterway remains open. He said US forces have coordinated protection enabling thousands of vessels to transit and estimated roughly 97% of ships attempting to pass were not struck by Iranian projectiles. Hawkins added the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ actions are unjustified and have not succeeded in closing the strait; shipping continues to transit.
