US Military: "132 Ships Redirected, 6 Neutralized Through Hormuz Maritime Blockade"

The U.S. military announced on June 7 (local time) that it has redirected 132 ships through maritime blockade measures in areas including the Strait of Hormuz to date.

The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), which oversees U.S. forces in the Middle East, stated on X (formerly Twitter) that, as of June 7, the command has redirected 132 merchant vessels and neutralized six ships to ensure compliance with the blockade measures.

After a ceasefire with Iran on April 7, the United States began implementing a "maritime blockade against Iran" from April 13, blocking the passage of ships entering and leaving Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz and nearby waters. The strategy was to pressure Iran's financial resources and gain leverage in the final negotiations to end the conflict.
