Cost of U.S. Iran port blockade
Since July, the United States has imposed a naval blockade on Iran, employing about 28 naval ships, which has led to operating costs exceeding $7 billion so far. This has negatively impacted the readiness of American forces and crew welfare. The blockade has caused technical failures and a decline in morale among the sailors, with an attempted suicide reported among crew members aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln. Former U.S. President Donald Trump stated that American forces have sank 159 Iranian ships, claiming the destruction of Iran's naval and air capabilities. Meanwhile, Washington continues to enforce restrictions on ship transits through the Strait of Hormuz, amid escalating tensions between the two countries.
