U.S. military forces redirected 111 ships heading to and from Iranian ports to enforce a weeks-long blockade of Iran, officials said on Thursday, coming as U.S. officials confirmed an extension of a 60-day ceasefire.
The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), which oversees military operations in the Middle East, wrote in a post on X that it has enforced the blockade that has seen 111 ships be redirected or turned back since mid-April.
