CENTCOM said US forces have redirected 118 commercial vessels and disabled five under a naval blockade of Iranian ports imposed on April 13. The move comes as President Donald Trump seeks tougher terms in a proposed US-Iran agreement, raising fresh uncertainty over talks on Iran's nuclear programme, sanctions relief and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

Florida: The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) has announced that American forces have redirected 118 commercial vessels and disabled five others as part of Washington's active naval blockade aimed at Iranian ports.

American forces established a naval blockade of Iran on 13 April.

The US military "has redirected 118 commercial vessels and disabled 5 as of May 31," CENTCOM stated on Sunday in a post on X.

Following the implementation, US Central Command warned that they will continue blocking the movement of all ships heading both to and from Iranian ports.
