US Navy Redirects 141 Ships, Disables 9 in Active Hormuz Blockade
🚢 BLOCKADE — 141 ships turned back, 9 disabled: the blockade has teeth. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: 141 redirected, 9 disabled, 42 humanitarian exemptions — these numbers put operational scale on a closure tracked mostly in price terms. Nine disabled vessels means CENTCOM is using force, not warnings. The humanitarian carve-out manages optics. With Khamenei dead and no deal signed, this blockade now runs without a negotiating counterpart.
