The statement stated, "US Central Command forces had resumed the US blockade on all ships entering or departing from Iranian ports on July 14.

The statement concluded: “All sailors are required to adhere to blockade warnings issued by US Central Command forces. Crews should also continue to monitor the ‘Sailor Notices’ broadcast and communicate with the US Navy via Channel 16, designated for direct communication between ships, when sailing in the Gulf of Oman and the entrances to the Strait of Hormuz.”
