US Central Command reroutes 67 ships amid Iran blockade
The Central Command announced that since the resumption of the maritime blockade against Iran on July 14, it has diverted 67 commercial ships, including disabling three vessels and boarding two others, as part of its efforts to strengthen the siege imposed on Iran. These measures are part of Washington's broader attempt to increase pressure on Tehran, with the aircraft carrier USS George Washington arriving in the area to support these operations. In response, the Iranian Foreign Minister described the American sanctions as an act of economic terrorism, while the U.S. President stated that the Strait of Hormuz would no longer hold the same importance for oil supplies in the future due to the increase in American oil production. U.S. authorities also announced the existence of a secret corridor for oil transportation through the Strait of Hormuz, amid escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran over sanctions and military mobilizations in the region.
