CENTCOM Says U.S. Is Enforcing Iran Naval Blockade While Keeping Hormuz Open

U.S. Central Command says American forces are enforcing a naval blockade against Iran, keeping the Strait of Hormuz open and disrupting IRGC supply and revenue routes.

U.S. Central Command said U.S. forces are working to keep the Strait of Hormuz open to commercial shipping while enforcing a naval blockade against Iran and coordinating with interagency partners to disrupt IRGC routes.

CENTCOM stated:

U.S. forces continue to work around the clock keeping the Strait of Hormuz open for commercial shipping, strictly enforcing the ironclad naval blockade against Iran, and working with U.S. interagency partners to prevent the IRGC from using land routes and the Caspian Sea to move advanced weapons systems, dual-use tech, sanctioned materials, and illegal revenue streams.
