U.S. Central Command commander reportedly thanked the American sailors who carried out the naval blockade on Iran, according to Israeli media.
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) commander reportedly thanked American sailors who executed the naval blockade on Iran, as reported by Israeli media. The blockade, a key part of CENTCOM's broader campaign against Iranian maritime aggression, has been in effect since early June. This acknowledgment appears to be the first public recognition of the sailors' role in the operation, which has included disabling oil tankers and enforcing sanctions. The Zioneer has previously covered CENTCOM's transition to direct kinetic engagement against Iran, including the June 9 strikes near the Strait of Hormuz and the disabling of the M/T Settebello tanker on June 10. No further details on the timing or location of the commander's remarks were immediately available.
