Reportedon one origin only: 1 distinct origin, 1 tied to no party.
US Central Command said "the United States and regional partners control the strait", citing more than 40 commercial ships moving through in 24 hours, and that the GFS Pride "was hit by an IRGC projectile" and sank under tow, rejecting Iran's mine claim, gCaptain reported. The Joint Maritime Information Center's 15 October advisory counted 121 US-facilitated transits from 11 to 14 October, about 30 a day against a 2025 average of about 138, eight projectile attacks on four tankers and four container ships on 11 and 13 October, and no evidence that a mine sank the GFS Pride. JMIC kept the threat level at severe.
