US Navy Blocks Iranian Ships After Sanctions
Kathmandu. The US Army's Central Command (CENTCOM) has stated that since the re-imposition of naval blockade on Iran, 9 commercial ships have been rerouted and one ship has been neutralized as of Wednesday.
The Trump administration reimposed sanctions on Iran last week after the memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the US and Iran was broken. Washington has stated that this blockade has been repeated with the aim of pressuring Iran to come to the negotiating table on its terms.
It is estimated that Iran has lost billions of dollars in oil revenue due to the blockade that was in effect from mid-April to mid-June. Iranian Parliament Speaker and chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf admitted in an interview given at the end of June that Tehran could not export a single barrel of oil during the previous blockade.
According to the US Department of Defense, during the previous blockade, the US Army had rerouted more than 140 ships and neutralized 9 ships.
