The U.S. military announced this evening that it has lifted the naval blockade on Iran, following a directive from President Trump, according to Asaf Rozentzweig (N12).
Tonight, the U.S. military officially confirmed the removal of its naval siege on Iranian ports, acting on an order from President Trump. The announcement, reported by Asaf Rozentzweig (N12), marks the formal end of the maritime enforcement posture that had been in place during the recent U.S.-Iran crisis. The directive follows a sequence of high-level diplomatic signals tracked by The Zioneer over the past week. On Monday, President Trump confirmed a deal with Iran to end hostilities, declaring 'let the oil flow,' and CENTCOM subsequently acknowledged the lifting of the blockade. Earlier Thursday evening, The Zioneer reported that CENTCOM confirmed the blockade's removal and that Supreme Leader Khamenei endorsed the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding. This latest military confirmation appears to execute that presidential directive at the operational level. The move effectively reopens the Strait of Hormuz to Iranian shipping and represents a major de-escalation step after weeks of heightened military readiness.
