US military rejects Iranian claims of controlling Strait of Hormuz
The US military has rejected Iranian claims that Tehran controls the Strait of Hormuz, the strategic waterway through which a large share of the world's oil passes. US officials maintain the strait remains an international passage that American forces are positioned to keep open. The dispute adds to rising tensions between Washington and Tehran, with analysts warning that any closure attempt would have global energy and shipping consequences.
Why now: Ongoing US-Iran tensions have put the security of the world's most important oil chokepoint back in focus.
