🔱 Neptune Strike: High North Edition.
The UK Carrier Strike Group 🇬🇧, led by HMS Prince of Wales, is operating with NATO Allies across the North Atlantic and High North — with the carrier now under @NATO command for this phase of operations.
Neptune Strike puts Allied carrier capability to work in a strategically vital region — testing command and control, strengthening maritime-air integration and demonstrating NATO’s ability to operate at scale across the northern approaches.
As part of Arctic Sentry, the activity strengthens Allied presence and reinforces NATO’s ability to deter, defend and respond across the region.

🚫 CLAIM: Over recent days and weeks, Iranian-controlled media have reported Iranian claims that commercial vessels are hitting sea mines while transiting the Strait of Hormuz. These claims are FALSE.
✅ FACT: All internationally recognized primary transit routes through the Strait of Hormuz have been cleared of sea mines by U.S. forces and remain so. Thousands of commercial vessels have safely used the transit lanes and continue today.
