U.S. officials have told CBS News that approximately 60% of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) navy is still present and operational in the Strait of Hormuz region, contradicting more optimistic public statements from the U.S. government. The officials specifically noted that a significant number of fast attack boats remain in the area. This assessment highlights the continued threat to shipping lanes despite recent U.S. military actions and the extension of a blockade by President Trump. The presence of these forces underscores the ongoing volatility in the critical maritime chokepoint.
