US Central Command has redirected 109 commercial ships in an effort to strictly enforce the blockade on Iranian ports. The military disclosed this action on Sunday, sharing an image of a sailor on watch aboard the destroyer USS John Paul Jones (DDG 53) via their X platform account. Meanwhile, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stated that Iran will not lift the Strait of Hormuz closure until the nation's demands are met and US commitments are acknowledged.
