Washington reverses course on 12 ships after Iran sanctions
The United States imposed a naval blockade on Iran after Tehran closed the Strait of Hormuz. This blockade was resumed on July 14, involving the rerouting of 12 commercial ships and the disabling of one to prevent their entry or exit from Iranian ports. This comes amidst escalating tensions in the region, with Iran announcing that it has prevented three oil tankers from passing through the strait. In response, the United States has imposed a blockade on Iranian ports. These measures are expected to fully disrupt oil exports via the Strait of Hormuz, which remains a key center of the conflict between the two sides.
