US deploys 10,000 troops for Iran blockade

The United States has deployed over 10,000 troops to enforce its naval blockade on Iranian ports. According to AP News, these American forces are actively preventing ships from reaching Iranian waters, with 13 vessels having already turned around rather than confront the military action. The blockade remains a central element of the Trump administration's pressure campaign against Iran, though reports continue to surface of some vessels successfully running the blockade.
