US Navy Blocks Iranian Ships After Sanctions

Kathmandu. The US Army's Central Command (CENTCOM) has stated that since the re-imposition of naval blockade on Iran, 9 commercial ships have been rerouted and one ship has been neutralized as of Wednesday.

The Trump administration reimposed sanctions on Iran last week after the memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the US and Iran was broken. Washington has stated that this blockade has been repeated with the aim of pressuring Iran to come to the negotiating table on its terms.
