The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said on Tuesday that the Strait of Hormuz is currently under the control of the U.S. military and its regional partners, in response to remarks by the navy commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
In a post on social media, the CENTCOM said that U.S. forces had helped regional partners in the Gulf transport more than 19 million barrels of crude oil through the strait the day before.
Earlier the same day, IRGC navy commander Ali Azmaei threatened to sink any U.S. warship that approaches the Strait of Hormuz.
He said the expensive U.S. warships had moved 700 kilometers away from the strait to avoid Iranian missiles.
Azmaei stated that U.S. warships "do not dare" enter the waterway due to their vulnerability, warning that Iran is waiting to sink any ship that approaches the entrance to the Strait.

The China Media Group's (CMG's) "Win in AI+" is airing as a program dedicated to building China's leading platform for artificial intelligence entrepreneurship, with a "media plus" approach that connects entrepreneurs, investors, local governments, and experts and scholars in a full-factor ecosystem.
Positioned at the start of the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030), the program aims to uncover scalable and replicable AI "China solutions" and identify China's next generation of AI "little dragons."
The second season of "Win in AI+" has formed a recruitment system featuring a "China home base with global participation." Its 29 roadshows have covered eight domestic and international AI innovation hubs — Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Shenzhen, Nanjing, Tianjin, Hong Kong, and Singapore — drawing more than 1,000 AI startups in total. This marks the program's official shift from "deep domestic cultivation" to a new stage of "global connectivity."
Notably, in July this year, the CMG was invited to launch a special overseas edition of "Win in AI+" at the "AI for Good" Global Summit in Geneva, Switzerland, showcasing China's AI innovation achievements to the rest of the international community and engaging in in-depth dialogue with top global research institutions and international organizations, allowing the explorations and reflections of Chinese AI innovators to be "seen" by the rest of the world.
