After An Iranian Ship Passed The Blockade Line, CENTCOM Issued A Statement

According to SAEDNEWS, CENTCOM announced on Monday that since the beginning of the maritime blockade on Iran, 84 Iran-linked vessels have been ordered to change their course.

The CENTCOM statement comes while news sources reported hours earlier that an Iranian oil tanker, which had been under U.S. sanctions and was located off the coast of India two weeks ago, has now docked at Kharg Island. The vessel reportedly crossed the U.S. blockade line and entered Iranian waters without being detected.

CENTCOM also stated in its announcement that since the start of the blockade, four Iran-linked vessels have been targeted and stopped from moving.
