CENTCOM: 14 vessels comply with Iran blockade

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has provided an update on the ongoing naval blockade of Iranian ports, stating American forces remain focused, vigilant, and highly motivated as they enforce the blockade. After 72 hours of enforcement, 14 vessels have turned around to comply with the blockade at the direction of American forces. The blockade remains in full effect despite President Trump's recent contradictory statement about opening negotiations, with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Kain previously confirming no boardings have occurred yet.
