US expands Iran blockade worldwide
The United States has expanded its worldwide blockade against Iran, authorizing the boarding and seizure of ships globally to target the country's fleet of shadow tankers. This new phase of the operation aims to choke the regime's ability to circumvent sanctions and fund its activities. The move escalates tensions as part of President Trump's broader strategy to pressure Iran economically and militarily. Reports from USNAVCENT indicate that the implementation is now active, allowing enforcement actions beyond regional waters.
The blockade now explicitly targets Iranian shadow tankers, a key component of Iran's sanctions-evasion network.
New reports from USNAVCENT confirm the blockade is being implemented worldwide, with ships subject to boarding and seizure everywhere.
