According to CENTCOM, U.S. naval forces have redirected 12 commercial vessels and disabled one ship as part of an ongoing blockade aimed at halting maritime traffic to and from Iranian ports and coastal areas. The operation resumed nine days ago.
The measure is intended to enforce restrictions on Iran's maritime access, though the specific vessels involved and the method of disabling were not detailed. The region remains a key chokepoint for global energy shipments.
