Tehran Lighthouse?
The #CENTCOM debunks the blockade of #ormuz and calms the markets after the threats from the IRGC

Fox News National Security Correspondent, Jennifer Griffin, citing direct sources from CENTCOM (U.S. Central Command), has categorically denied that the Strait of Hormuz is closed. This information provides immediate relief from the war rhetoric of the Revolutionary Guard.

False Alarms: Despite the official announcement from the IRGC, CENTCOM assures that the strait is not closed and that Iranian patrol activity has not increased unusually.

No Mines in Sight: There is no evidence that Iran is mining the waters, a tactic that would be necessary for an effective and lasting blockade.

The China Factor: There is a powerful economic brake: 80% of Iranian oil is exported to China. Blocking the strait would be, in practice, an "economic suicide" for Iran and a direct blow to its main strategic ally.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 OSINT trackers have identified 87 military tanker aircraft either inside or positioned near CENTCOM's area of operations.

This is the largest aerial refueling buildup in years. The breakdown:

RED — Tankers already inside #CENTCOM (Middle East): Al Udeid, Prince Sultan, Diego Garcia, and more

ORANGE — Tankers at strategic staging bases nearby: Chania (Greece), Moron (Spain), Naval Station Rota, Sofia (Bulgaria), Lajes (Azores)

GREEN — Tankers across Europe on standby: RAF Mildenhall, Ramstein, Geilenkirchen, Glasgow Prestwick

87 tankers are spread across three continents, and are all oriented toward one theater.

For context: the U.S. used roughly 90 tankers during the opening phase of the Iraq War.
