The United States' Central Command, CENTCOM, announced that over the past 12 weeks, it had destroyed 13 commercial ships that violated the blockade or were considered part of the Revolutionary Guards' multibillion-dollar shadow network.

Centcom's statement, released on Monday, October 13, also stated that US military forces have altered the course of 130 commercial ships in the Middle East as part of the strict implementation of the current US naval blockade against Iran.

This statement added that in addition to changing the course of 130 ships, US forces also disabled three ships that refused to follow orders.

🔸Brad Cooper, CENTCOM commander, said that "the US military continues to be fully focused on this mission. We will act swiftly against any ship that attempts to bypass the blockade. "Our forces are highly trained, professional and deadly." 🔸 The Strait of Hormuz, which before the start of the war between America and Israel captives with Iran on March 9 last year, was the transfer point for about 20% of the world's crude oil and natural gas, has become the main axis of tension and conflict between Tehran and Washington.
