U.S. Central Command commander Adm. Brad Cooper says U.S. forces have removed all IRGC sea mines from the Strait of Hormuz and have facilitated the passage of 1,500 commercial vessels carrying 75 million barrels of crude oil, while blocking all Iranian crude exports. Cooper says no Iranian ship has entered or left an Iranian port without CENTCOM approval. Around 75 ships have been redirected and three disabled since the U.S. Navy blockade began.
