The US Department of Defense said on Thursday that since implementing a blockade on Iranian ports in the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman for more than 24 hours, the US Navy has turned back 13 vessels.

US President Donald Trump earlier announced the action, stating that Iran had failed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, in violation of one of the ceasefire conditions.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine noted that the operation targets Iranian ports and coastlines, rather than blockading the Strait of Hormuz itself, but applies to all vessels entering or leaving Iranian ports, regardless of nationality.
