The United States blocked 100 commercial ships from passing through after two months of a maritime blockade against Iran.

United States military forces have blocked 100 commercial vessels from entering or exiting Iranian ports during the first 60 days of a new maritime blockade. The operation, managed by the U.S. Central Command (Centcom), maintains that no ships have bypassed the blockade without explicit authorization from U.S. forces. Personnel remain fully engaged in the mission to enforce these restrictions.

The blockade was initiated as a response to Iranian aggression in the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. officials describe the ongoing operation as a strategic effort to restrict maritime movement associated with the Islamic Republic.
