CENTCOM Chief Tells Senators Iran's Hold on Strait of Hormuz Has Weakened, but Threats Remain
Cooper said the campaign destroyed 90% of Iran’s defense industrial base and cut off support to Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis.
- Admiral Brad Cooper, head of US Central Command, told a US Senate committee on Thursday that military actions reduced Iran's threat, with the country's defense industry set back 90 per cent.
- Cooper said Iran can no longer transfer arms to allies including Hezbollah in Lebanon, Houthis in Yemen, and Hamas in Gaza, declaring "those transfer paths and methods have been cut off."
- On Thursday, maritime security agency UKMTO reported "unauthorised personnel" seized a ship near Fujairah, while an Indian cargo vessel was sunk off Oman with all 14 crew members rescued.
- Separately, an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander said 30 ships passed through the Strait of Hormuz since Wednesday night, stressing vessels linked to "an enemy state" remain barred.
- Security remains sensitive as Fujairah serves as the UAE's sole oil port outside the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran recently released an expanded map claiming control over that coastal area.
