CENTCOM says 97% of ships cross Strait of Hormuz safely amid Iran attacks

U.S. Central Command spokesperson Capt. Tim Hawkins said the "vast majority" of Iran's attempted attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz are unsuccessful, with about 97% of ships transiting safely with U.S. military protection. Hawkins spoke after CENTCOM said the Singapore-flagged container ship GFS Pride was hit by an Iranian projectile on Wednesday and sank while being towed after catching fire.
