The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that its blockade on Iranian ports applies to ships from all countries. In a statement, CENTCOM said a guided-missile destroyer has been deployed to enforce the blockade, describing the vessel as crewed by more than 300 sailors skilled in offensive and defensive maritime operations. The U.S. claimed that all forms of economic trade with Iran via sea routes have been halted.
CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper stated that the blockade on Iran’s ports has been fully implemented and that U.S. forces continue to maintain maritime superiority in the Middle East. He added on social media platform X that approximately 90 percent of Iran’s economy depends on international maritime trade, and within less than 36 hours of the blockade’s enforcement, all sea-based economic transactions and trade through Iranian ports had ceased.
The announcement underscores Washington’s intent to tighten economic pressure on Iran through maritime restrictions, according to the CENTCOM statement cited by Al Jazeera.
