The US Armed Forces will operate in the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea to ensure a naval blockade of Iran.
“Elchi” reports that this was stated by the Reuters agency, citing an advisory issued by the US Central Command (CENTCOM) for shipping companies.
According to the information, the blockade will come into effect on Monday at 17:00. “Any vessel entering or exiting the unauthorized blockade zone may be stopped, diverted, or seized,” the statement said.
CENTCOM clarified that the blockade will cover “the entire coastline of Iran, including, but not limited to, ports and oil terminals.” At the same time, the command emphasized that the transport of humanitarian cargo, including food, medicine, and other essential goods, will be permitted provided that the vessels undergo inspection.
