The US Navy has reported a remarkable development in the conflict with Iran — in the last 20 days, American forces have compelled 48 Iranian vessels to reverse course in the Strait of Hormuz. Notably, three ships were turned back within the previous 20 hours, as stated by US Central Command. The Pentagon has announced that no ships are permitted to enter or exit any Iranian harbor. This marks the most intense American naval blockade in many years, impacting approximately 20 percent of global oil supply. This situation holds significant implications for the upcoming phase of the conflict and for every American filling up at the pump.
