CENTCOM: No Ships Struck Mines in Strait of Hormuz

CENTCOM is reporting that no ships have struck mines in the Strait of Hormuz, directly rebutting claims from Iran's IRGC that a supertanker had hit two mines in the vital waterway. According to CENTCOM, the IRGC's assertion is another attempt at disinformation aimed at intimidating regional commercial shipping. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most critical oil chokepoints, and Tehran has a long history of using threats and propaganda to pressure shipping traffic during periods of tension. CENTCOM's statement casts the IRGC's claim as a fabrication rather than a genuine incident, underscoring ongoing concerns about Iranian efforts to destabilize the region through information warfare rather than direct confrontation.
