CENTCOM announced the failure of most Iranian attacks in the Strait of Hormuz

The vast majority of Iranian attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz are unsuccessful, said Tim Hawkins, a spokesman for the US Central Middle East Command (CENTCOM). "Up to 97% of the ships that tried to pass through the Strait of Hormuz did so successfully without being hit by Iranian missiles," he said in an interview with Fox News. "The US military helped provide coordinated protection for thousands of ships that passed safely through the strait," the command representative added.
