The US Army has issued a statement reaffirming its ongoing naval blockade of Iranian ports. The military continues to monitor and impose restrictions on maritime traffic entering or leaving Iranian waters. This declaration reinforces the Trump administration's economic pressure campaign against Iran, which has been in effect since early 2025. The blockade has previously resulted in multiple interceptions of Iranian vessels and significant disruption to Iran's oil exports.
