Washington reroutes 9 ships in maritime blockade
The U.S. Central Command confirmed that its naval forces are monitoring efforts to impose a blockade on Iran within the Strait of Hormuz, where the blockade has so far resulted in nine ships changing course and others being disrupted to ensure compliance with navigation restrictions. It also noted the resurgence of military confrontations, with Iran warning that resuming the blockade could threaten global energy supplies—especially since Iran effectively controls the strait, which serves as a key passage for about one-fifth of the world's oil supplies. The statement emphasized that these measures are part of American efforts to maintain maritime security and respond to escalating tensions in the region.
