U.S. Central Command confirmed that since the start of the naval blockade of Iranian ports, no ship has successfully breached the restrictions. The statement follows earlier reports of multiple Iranian vessels being turned back or intercepted in the Strait of Hormuz. The blockade, announced earlier this year, aims to pressure Iran's oil exports and maritime traffic. U.S. warships continue to enforce the blockade, with each attempted transit being denied by U.S. forces.
