USA announced that it is continuing the naval blockade against Iran

The US army shared with the public the latest situation regarding the naval blockade launched against Iran. In the statement made by the US Central Command (CENTCOM), it was emphasized that the blockade continues strictly and it was said: "In this context, the direction of the 130th commercial ship in the Middle East was changed on October 5."

It was reminded that the naval blockade against Iran was last restarted on July 14, upon the instruction of the Commander-in-Chief (US President Donald Trump), and said, "In addition to the 130 ships whose route was changed, American forces blocked the mobility of 3 ships that refused to comply with the instructions."

"13 COMMERCIAL SHIPS WERE DESTROYED"

It was also reported that CENTCOM had destroyed 13 commercial ships in the last 12 weeks that violated the blockade or were part of the "billion-dollar shadow network" belonging to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). All ships sailing off the coast of the Gulf of Oman and the Strait of Hormuz were called upon to follow security warnings and, when necessary, to contact the US Navy via the intership radio channel.

"WE WILL TAKE ACTION QUICKLY AGAINST SHIPS TRYING TO BREAK THE BLOCKADE"

CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper emphasized that the US army continues the naval blockade determinedly and said, "We will take rapid action against all ships that try to break the blockade. Our forces are highly trained, professional and lethal."
