US Increases Pressure at Sea: Commercial Ships Are Blocked, Iran Complains.

The US Central Command (CENTCOM) has issued a new statement stating that its naval forces have conducted an operation to prevent shipping aimed at Iran, a move that adds pressure to the ongoing international tension in the Middle East. 

In the operation, 17 commercial vessels were reportedly redirected, two vessels were suspended, while two others were boarded by US troops for direct inspection.
