  "summary": "The US military has reported that 100 commercial vessels have been pushed back in the past 60 days under its blockade of Iranian ports. According to US Central Command, no ships have passed through the blockade without permission from US forces.\n\nThe blockade was implemented in response to Iran blocking the strategic Strait of Hormuz after the US and Israel launched attacks on Tehran in late February. The US aims to prevent ships from traveling to and from Iranian ports to deprive Tehran of revenue.\n\nUS Central Command stated that American service members remain focused on this mission.",
