Washington escalates Iran blockade affecting 62 ships
The American Central Command article states that the United States has intensified its blockade on Iran through changes in the routing of 62 commercial ships and the disruption of three others, as part of maritime surveillance operations aimed at ensuring compliance with sanctions imposed on Iran. The operations included inspections and nighttime aerial patrols aboard the ships, with the threat of maintaining the blockade as part of the US strategy of pressure on Tehran. Washington also anticipates sending a new aircraft carrier to the region to bolster military strength, while more than 50,000 US troops in the Middle East continue their high-alert missions, along with ongoing surveillance and inspection operations to reduce threats to maritime movement in the Strait of Hormuz and surrounding oceans.
