US naval blockade targets Iran-linked ships in Strait of Hormuz

The United States has established a naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global oil shipments. The operation involves three aircraft carrier groups and ten destroyers, and it specifically targets ships linked to Iran.

Tracking data shows the blockade has significantly muted shipping activity in the strait and has reportedly halted all Iranian shipping, according to the US military. However, some reports indicate that a few Iranian vessels, including a supertanker, have continued to transit the strait and reach Iranian waters despite the US threats.
