CENTCOM: 144 ships redirected and naval blockade on Iran tightened

Iran ·

CENTCOM said its forces have redirected 144 commercial ships so far to enforce the naval blockade on Iranian ports. The command released a photo of an MH-60R Sea Hawk helicopter that took off from the flight deck of the USS George Washington.

Tensions between Washington and Tehran have run for decades over Iran's nuclear programme and its regional role, and U.S. naval forces operate in the Gulf region.
