According to an assessment published on the source, the American siege on the strategic Strait of Hormuz has come into effect, escalating the ongoing US military campaign against Iranian forces. The assessment claims that Tehran's recent achievements in the area are now negated. The report is not independently verified.
A new assessment circulating on Telegram tonight claims that the American siege of the Strait of Hormuz has taken effect and that Tehran's recent regional achievements are now negated. The claim comes a day after the United States officially reinstated the naval blockade, which entered into force at 23:00 Jerusalem on Monday, following President Trump's announcement. The assessment is not independently verified.
The Zioneer has tracked the rapid escalation: On Monday, President Trump announced the reinstatement of the naval blockade, declared the US the 'Guardian of the Strait of Hormuz,' and imposed a 20% fee on cargo transiting the waterway. US Central Command (CENTCOM) subsequently confirmed the blockade was in effect and published the full order with historical enforcement figures. The blockade entered into force at 23:00 Jerusalem. Earlier today, a regional assessment indicated that US strikes were continuing and that Iran had retaliated against Gulf bases, as The Zioneer reported.
The Zioneer has previously reported on the US military campaign against Iranian forces near the Strait of Hormuz, including waves of airstrikes on IRGC naval infrastructure. An analysis published earlier today argued that the strikes are not deterring Iran and that the blockade is ongoing.
The source of the latest assessment, the source, did not provide further details or official confirmation. The claim that Tehran's achievements are negated remains unverified and is reported as an assessment.
