Washington, July 31 (IANS) The US military has released fresh details of its enforcement operations against Iran, saying American forces have redirected dozens of commercial vessels while maintaining an extensive surveillance and naval presence across the Middle East. The command added that, “As of July 30, CENTCOM forces have redirected 24 commercial vessels, disabled 2, and boarded 2 to ensure full compliance,” underscoring the scale of the ongoing operation. The latest operational update came hours after CENTCOM accused Iranian state media and the IRGC of spreading what it described as misinformation about developments in the Gulf. Addressing the first claim, CENTCOM said the IRGC had asserted that “free and open routes through the Strait of Hormuz are dangerous for commercial vessels.” Rejecting the allegation, the command stated, “The immediate dangers posed to commercial vessels and their civilian crews are the IRGC’s verbal threats and attempted attacks.”
