US Marines train aboard USS Tripoli enforcing Iran blockade
US Marines are conducting close-quarters tactics training aboard the USS Tripoli as the amphibious assault ship operates in the Arabian Sea and enforces a blockade of Iranian ports, US Central Command said on Wednesday.
“Tripoli is currently executing a mission to blockade ships entering and departing Iranian ports,” CENTCOM said in a post on X.
The command said the blockade was being enforced impartially against vessels of all nations.
It added that the training was aimed at preparing Marines for missions such as maritime interception operations.
