Middle East: (RightNow) The US Navy claims to have diverted 130 commercial ships during a maritime blockade against Iran. This action was taken to halt the movement of ships allegedly violating US orders.

According to US Central Command, in addition to rerouting these 130 ships, three ships were disabled. These ships reportedly refused to comply with US directives.

The US military states that 13 commercial ships have been destroyed in the past 12 weeks. CENTCOM claims these ships violated US naval orders or were part of Iran’s financial network.

These maritime measures are being implemented to enforce sanctions and monitor the seas in the region. Orders are being issued to identify and reroute commercial ships.

It is noteworthy that global trade could be affected by these sea routes, as they are crucial for the transport of oil and other goods.
