The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that its recently imposed naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz remains unbreached after its first 48 hours of operation. Nine vessels have already complied with U.S. military orders, turning back toward Iranian ports and coastal areas. American warships continue to actively patrol the Gulf of Oman on high alert to ensure total maritime compliance. CENTCOM issued a stern broadcast to all regional shipping traffic, warning that any vessels traveling to or from Iran will be immediately stopped, searched, and seized. Military officials emphasized that the U.S. Navy is on full standby and will use force against any ship attempting to violate the blockade.
