  • U.S. forces to begin blockading ships entering or exiting Iranian ports on Monday

U.S. forces would begin implementing a blockade of "all maritime traffic entering and exiting Iranian ports" on Monday, U.S. Central Command said in a statement Sunday.

The blockade, in accordance with U.S. President Donald Trump's proclamation, will be enforced "impartially" against vessels of all nations entering or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas, including all Iranian ports on the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman, according to the statement, which was posted on social media platform X.

After Trump's statement on Strait of Hormuz naval blockade, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy Command warned Sunday that any "wrong move" in the Strait of Hormuz would trap its enemies in "deadly whirlpools."
