Description
The US military said its naval blockade of Iran remains fully in effect.
As of July 25, US Central Command (Centcom) had redirected 12 commercial vessels attempting to breach the blockade, disabled two that failed to comply, and boarded two others to enforce compliance.
Earlier, US forces carried out a verification boarding of the Comoros-flagged tanker M/T Charminar in the Arabian Sea, allowing it to continue its voyage afterward.
On July 24, Centcom forces disabled the Mozambique-flagged M/T Lavine in the Gulf of Oman after its crew repeatedly attempted to breach the blockade and ignored multiple warnings. The vessel is no longer bound for Iran.
