Washington, July 24 (QNA) – The US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that it has redirected 12 commercial vessels and disabled one vessel since the United States resumed its maritime blockade of Iran on Jul. 14.
In a statement issued tonight, CENTCOM said that since the maritime blockade resumed nine days ago, US Central Command had redirected 12 commercial vessels and disabled one vessel to prevent ships from entering or leaving Iranian ports or coastal areas.
It’s worth noting that the United States resumed its blockade of Iranian ports on Jul. 14 following the collapse of the memorandum of understanding reached in April, the renewed escalation of hostilities in the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran’s targeting of commercial vessels transiting the waterway.
