The United States has reinstated a naval blockade of vessels heading to and from Iranian ports. CNN reports this, citing the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), as UNN informs.
Details
It is noted that the blockade was reinstated a day after U.S. President Donald Trump stated it would be restored, and the U.S. would act as "guardians" of the Strait of Hormuz.
"Strikes are taking place as American forces prepare to reinstate the naval blockade of Iranian ports and coastal areas,"
It is indicated that the U.S. previously imposed a blockade of Iranian ports for about two months, from April to June. The enforcement operations stretched from the Middle East to the Indian Ocean, covering thousands of miles.
Recall
According to MarineTraffic, in the last 24 hours, at least 22 commercial vessels have passed through the Strait of Hormuz, ahead of the deadline set by U.S. President Donald Trump at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (11:00 p.m. Kyiv time - ed.), when, according to him, the U.S. blockade will take effect.
