The US blockade of Iranian ports appears to be holding steadily since it came into force, while Iran’s continuing cutoff of the vital oil and gas shipments waterway holds tankers blocked outside the strait and maritime traffic at minimal levels, according to multiple maritime data observations by Euronews on Friday and over the last days.
In its last blockade update on Wednesday, the US Central Command said no ships have breached the US blockade since it was implemented on 13 April, while ten merchant vessels complied with direction from US forces to turn around and re-enter Iranian waters.
