CENTCOM says 67 vessels from Iranian ports in four weeks
US Central Command said Wednesday that American forces have redirected 67 commercial vessels since beginning enforcement of a blockade targeting ships entering and exiting Iranian ports four weeks ago.
In a statement posted on X, CENTCOM said 15 vessels carrying humanitarian aid had been allowed to pass, while four ships had been “disabled” to ensure compliance with the blockade.
“CENTCOM forces ensured that 2 commercial vessels turned around to comply with the blockade after communicating via radio and firing warning shots from small arms,” the statement added.
