The conflict between the US and Iran escalated on Wednesday after the US said that it is carrying out fresh 'self-defense' strikes on multiple targets in Iran.
The US Central Command has fact-checked Iran's IRGC claim that the Strait of Hormuz is closed to all vessels, declaring it as false.
Despite the fresh hostilities, commercial ships are continuing to transit in and out of the Strait of Hormuz, according to the US Central Command.
The US Central Command also fact-checked Iran's claim that it targeted US ships in the Strait of Hormuz with missiles and a drone attack, stating that no US warships have been struck.
