The US military’s naval blockade of ships going to and from Iranian ports resumed at 4 p.m. ET, US Central command said in a post on X, APA reports.
The blockade restarts a day after President Donald Trump said it would be reinstated and the US would act as the “guardian” of the Strait of Hormuz.
US Central Command reaffirmed the deadline in a post on X minutes before it was set to go into effect, adding that the US was carrying out more strikes against Iran on capabilities around the strait.
“The strikes are taking place as American forces prepare to resume the naval blockade against Iranian ports and coastal areas,” the CENTCOM post said.
