US blockade of Iran intensifies as 68 commercial vessels redirected: CENTCOM

US forces have redirected sixty-eight commercial vessels and disabled three others. Warships are supporting the US blockade against Iran in the Strait of Hormuz. This development occurs amid heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran over maritime security. US President Donald Trump asserted Washington controls key regional areas and the blockade. Iran criticizes US economic pressure, calling it a failed and diversionary approach.
