Washington, United States – Web Desk: The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said that 127 commercial vessels have been diverted during the ongoing blockade of Iranian ports, while six ships were rendered inoperable as part of maritime enforcement measures.
According to CENTCOM, 36 vessels carrying humanitarian aid were granted passage despite the restrictions. The blockade remains part of broader U.S. efforts to increase pressure on Iran amid ongoing regional tensions and diplomatic negotiations.
The Trump administration has maintained the maritime restrictions in an effort to push Tehran toward an agreement aimed at ending the conflict and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global energy shipping route.
The latest figures highlight the significant impact of the blockade on regional shipping and international trade flows, as global markets continue to monitor developments in the Gulf region.
