Washington: (RightNow) US Central Command (CENTCOM) states that during the Steel Wall blockade against Iran, US forces redirected 59 commercial ships, disabled 3, and took action on 2 others.

According to CENTCOM, these measures ensure full compliance with the blockade. The US command reported that these operations continued until August 12.

US officials claim the blockade aims to increase pressure on Iran. The deployment of FA-18 fighter jets from the USS George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier is part of this effort.

These operations could impact international trade routes and affect Iran’s economic situation. The US forces’ actions may disrupt the global trade system.

It is noteworthy that due to tensions with Iran, the US initiated this blockade to limit Iran’s trade activities.
