On October 15, local time, the US Central Command posted an article on social networking platform X, claiming that Iran's three claims about the situation in the Strait of Hormuz in the past 24 hours were “untrue.” The US military central command said that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran's claims that it controls the Strait of Hormuz is untrue; the US side and its regional partners still control the relevant sea area, and commercial vessels continue to pass through. The US side also claimed that a Singapore-flagged container ship was not hit by lightning, but was hit by Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps projectiles and sank while being dragged ashore; more than 40 merchant ships have still passed through the Strait of Hormuz in the past 24 hours. Furthermore, the US side denied the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran's claim that it “killed hundreds of US military personnel in Jordan,” saying that in July of this year, only 3 US soldiers died while helping partner forces resist Iranian attacks.
