35 ships rerouted over Iran port blockade
The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed that American forces have diverted the course of 35 commercial ships until August, thwarted two vessels, and boarded another two, as part of operations to verify compliance with the maritime blockade imposed on Iranian ports since mid-July. It clarified that these measures aim to ensure the enforcement of restrictions on ships traveling to Iran, in accordance with international law, and are carried out with the support of the U.S. military through the Strait of Hormuz, which is considered an international waterway. The statement also pointed out that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard does not have the legal authority or jurisdiction to require ships to follow specific routes during transit, despite its ongoing efforts to interfere, threaten commercial vessels, and continue issuing claims to this effect.
