Hormuz controlled by US and allies, not Iran: Centcom chief The Strait of Hormuz "is controlled by the United States and our regional partners, not Iran ", the head of US Central Command (Centcom) has said. In a video statement, Centcom commander Brad Cooper said the US blockade of Iranian ports had imposed "a devastating cost" on the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). He said it had completely halted Iran's maritime exports and imports, "with the exception of humanitarian assistance we have allowed in".
