US Centcom says that as the naval blockade on Iranian ports remains in effect, it has redirected 12 commercial vessels trying to run the blockade as of July 25, disabled two that didn’t comply, and boarded two to ensure total compliance.

“Earlier today, US forces completed a verification boarding aboard Comoros-flagged M/T Charminar in the Arabian Sea, and the tanker is now continuing its journey.

“Centcom forces disabled Mozambique-flagged M/T Lavine in the Gulf of Oman, July 24, after the crew attempted to violate the blockade multiple times and ignored repeated warnings. The ship is no longer transiting to Iran,” Centcom said on X.

It added, “American forces remain highly vigilant, focused, lethal, and ready.”
