CENTCOM confirms two US warships have passed through the Strait of Hormuz

CENTCOM said in a statement that two US warships passed through the strait and were operating in the Persian Gulf “as part of a broad mission to ensure the safety of navigation and clear the strait of mines.”

This statement actually confirms the words of President Trump about the launch of an operation to clear mines on this strategically important route.

Let us recall that Tehran previously claimed that it forced the American ships to retreat, but the CENTCOM message indicates the successful completion of the assigned task.
