[US Military: Hormuz Strait is not controlled by Iran, Iranian Navy has been sunk] Odaily Planet Daily News - U.S. Central Command: An Iranian Revolutionary Guard senior commander claimed today that Iran fully controls the Hormuz Strait through its navy. This is incorrect. Iran does not have a navy, as it has been sunk by the U.S. military. Iran does not control the Hormuz Strait. In the past few months, thousands of vessels have freely passed through, along with over 1 billion barrels of oil in transit. (Jin10)
