WorldUS CENTCOM: Hormuz remains open as US monitors Houthi threat near Bab al-Mandab

US CENTCOM spokesman Captain Tim Hawkins says the Strait of Hormuz remains open to commercial traffic despite pressure from Iran, with US forces helping move millions of barrels of oil. He says naval mines have been cleared from primary shipping lanes, calls the US blockade of Iran “highly effective” and says forces are monitoring the Houthi threat near Bab al-Mandab.
