The U.S. Central Command said that more than 20 vessels remain in the Iranian port of Chah Bahar under the U.S. blockade on Iran.
"Prior to the U.S. blockade on Iran, 5 ships were moored or anchored in the Iranian port of Chah Bahar on an average day. Today, more than 20 vessels remain in Chah Bahar as U.S. forces cut off economic trade going into and coming out of Iran during the ongoing blockade," CENTCOM said on X Tuesday.
