United States Central Command (CENTCOM) said on Monday that the military has redirected 17 commercial vessels and disabled another two that were trying to breach the naval blockade against Iran. The military added that its forces also boarded two ships “to ensure compliance” with the blockade. The US officially reinstated the naval blockade against Iran on July 14 after Washington and Tehran resumed hostilities, blaming each other for breaching the memorandum of understanding reached between the two parties previously.
