US Central Command (Centcom) said a US-led blockade on Iranian ports is being enforced “impartially” against vessels of all nations entering or leaving coastal areas of Iran.
Centcom said US Navy guided-missile destroyers are among the assets carrying out the operation.
“A typical destroyer has a crew of more than 300 Sailors that are highly trained in conducting offensive and defensive maritime operations,” Centcom said in a statement.
