The United States justify new attacks with free navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. "Either everyone is wrong or all the numbers are false"

CNN Portugal31 August 2026 at 10:29

The United States justified their recent attacks on Iran with the principle of free navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. These attacks were the first carried out in a period of one month, representing a significant escalation in the conflict.

CNN Portugal commentator Azeredo Lopes analyzed the situation, questioning the consistency of the available data. His intervention suggested contradictions between the numbers presented by the different parties involved in the conflict.

The attacks occur in the context of the war that began on February 28, a date that marks a turning point in the hostilities. Tension in the Persian Gulf region has been intensifying, with the Strait of Hormuz establishing itself as a fundamentally strategic zone for international maritime traffic.
