U.S. Navy Blockade Redirects and Disables Vessels Near Iran

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced on July 26, 2026, that its naval blockade against Iranian ports remains in full effect. Since July 25, the U.S. military redirected 12 commercial vessels attempting to run the blockade and disabled two others that refused to comply with boarding orders. These operations follow President Donald Trump's declaration that the U.S. is 'locked and loaded' for major strikes to secure international shipping lanes and deter regional escalation.
