US Forces Redirect 127 Ships, Disable 6 More Under Iran Naval Blockade
⚓ HORMUZ — The blockade's operational pace is outrunning its diplomatic cover. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: From 116 to 127 redirected in days, with 6 vessels disabled — CENTCOM is tightening enforcement while MOU talks remain unsigned. Each disabled ship raises the economic cost Tehran absorbs and the legal exposure Washington accumulates. The 36 humanitarian exemptions are the only political insulation left. If the MOU slips further, this tempo becomes the story replacing the diplomacy.
