U.S. forces have already intercepted or redirected more than 30 vessels as part of a newly enforced maritime blockade against Iran, signaling immediate operational impact across key Gulf shipping lanes. The action directly targets Iran’s oil exports and supply routes, aiming to cut off critical revenue and constrain its ability to sustain military operations and regional influence. Most of the affected vessels are oil tankers, underscoring a focused effort to disrupt Iran’s energy lifeline at scale. This operation highlights how naval power can be used to impose rapid economic pressure and reinforce deterrence in a high-risk maritime environment.The blockade is executed by a force exceeding 10,000 U.S. personnel, supported by more than 100 aircraft, including fighters, rotary-wing platforms, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems. At sea, at least 17 warships are engaged, forming a multi-layered maritime control network capable of sustained monitoring, interception, and boarding operations across a wide operational area extending from the Strait of Hormuz into surrounding waters.

More than 26,500 people have been injured, including at least 4,000 women and 1,621 children.

U.S. aerial refuelers are reported over Saudi Arabia, assisting in the ongoing airstrikes against Iran.
