US Navy blocks Iran: 6 ships redirected, 1 disabled

The United States has tightened its naval blockade on Iran, redirecting six commercial ships and disabling one, according to a statement from U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM). The operation is being carried out by sailors aboard the guided-missile destroyer USS John Finn, who remain "focused and vigilant," CENTCOM said. The move is part of ongoing American efforts to enforce the blockade, which aims to restrict maritime traffic to and from Iran. No further details on the disabled ship or the redirected vessels were provided.
