US CENTCOM says 45 ships stopped by blockade of Iranian ports

US Central Command, which is responsible for the war on Iran, says it has blocked 45 vessels attempting to breach its blockade of Iran’s ports.

“US forces continue to patrol international waters and enforce the ongoing naval blockade against Iran. As of now, 45 commercial vessels have been directed to turn around or return to port to ensure compliance,” CENTCOM said in a post on X.

The US imposed its blockade of Iranian ports on April 13.
