US Naval Blockade Enters Fourth Day Amid Rising Tensions
The US naval blockade of vessels in and out of Iranian ports has entered its fourth day, with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine warning that any vessel carrying supplies to or from Iran is a potential target. The blockade, which involves 10% of US naval power, applies to all ships regardless of nationality and will be enforced in international waters and Iran’s territorial seas. The US military has not yet boarded any ships as part of the blockade, according to Caine. This development was first reported by Breaking Defense.
