IRGC claims daily attacks on ships in Strait of Hormuz, challenges US response

Iran's IRGC claims it conducts daily attacks on small vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, blocking passage, and asserts the US has not responded. This escalates maritime tensions in a critical chokepoint, with Iran linking a potential reopening to an end to US economic warfare. The claim is unverified and may be rhetorical, but it signals heightened risk to shipping in the strait.
