CENTCOM Fully Implements Maritime Blockade of Iranian Ports

As of April 15, 2026, U.S. Central Command confirmed the full implementation of a maritime blockade across all Iranian ports. Admiral Brad Cooper reported that naval forces have halted nearly all sea-based trade, turning back ten vessels attempting to enter or exit the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman. The blockade aims to dismantle Iran's economic and military capabilities following the launch of Operation Epic Fury. This action has reportedly halted 90% of Iran's maritime-dependent economy within 36 hours.
