The United States military has disabled one vessel and redirected 12 commercial ships as part of a renewed naval blockade against Iran, according to a statement from U.S. Central Command (Centcom). The measures were announced nine days after the blockade was resumed. Centcom stated that the actions were taken to prevent ships from entering or leaving Iranian ports or coastal areas. The update was posted on social media platform X. No further details about the disabled ship or the redirected vessels were provided. The blockade is part of ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Iran, which have escalated in recent years over issues including nuclear activities and regional conflicts. The U.S. military frequently conducts naval operations in the Persian Gulf and surrounding waters to enforce sanctions and maintain maritime security. Iran has previously criticized such actions as violations of international law. The situation remains under monitoring by international observers.
