CENTCOM Reports Two Vessels Redirected in First 17 Hours of Naval Blockade

⚓ BLOCKADE — Two ships in 17 hours suggests enforcement is selective, not total. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: With Hormuz already at 13 vessels/day, two redirections in 17 hours means most traffic stopped itself before CENTCOM had to act. The real enforcement signal is the statistic's publication — CENTCOM is advertising the blockade's existence, not its scale. Compliance through deterrence costs less than interception, but also conceals how many vessels are quietly slipping through.
