CENTCOM Boosts Naval Blockade Against Iran with USS Boxer Operations

The US Central Command (CENTCOM) has reported that U.S. Marine Corps aircraft and personnel, operating from the amphibious assault ship USS Boxer, are actively supporting the ongoing naval blockade against Iran.

As of August 6, CENTCOM has redirected 49 commercial vessels, disabled two, and boarded another two, reflecting a robust enforcement effort in the maritime confrontation.

This development is part of broader U.S. efforts in the Arabian Sea and Strait of Hormuz region, aimed at restricting Iranian maritime activities while allowing humanitarian shipments.
