CENTCOM Claims Impenetrable Blockade of Iranian Ports

CENTCOM spokesperson Tim Hawkins asserted that the US naval blockade of Iranian ports is 'extremely effective' and impassable for Iran-affiliated shipping. This is a continuation of US pressure on Iran, but the claim of impenetrability is unverified and likely overstated. The blockade's effectiveness matters for oil markets and regional tensions.
