US Military Affirms Continuation of Maritime Blockade on Iran
The US Central Command announced the continuation of the maritime blockade on Iran to secure navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, amidst Iranian dismissal of the measures.
The US Central Command confirmed the ongoing enforcement of the maritime blockade against Iran, highlighting efforts to keep the Strait of Hormuz open and secure.
Official data indicated that approximately four thousand vessels have crossed the strait under protection, while about one hundred and fifty ships have been rerouted since last July.
The command estimated the value of oil blocked from export at over thirty billion dollars as a result of these stringent measures.
The US military has launched a task force designed to restrict cross-border weapons transfers and enforce sanctions strictly.
In response, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps dismissed the plan as a play on words, expressing skepticism over its potential success.
