U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that it has diverted two vessels attempting to pass through the area since the renewal of the naval siege, according to Israeli media reports citing a CENTCOM statement. The message provides no details on the type, nationality, or cargo of the ships, nor the exact location of the interdiction. The announcement follows the ongoing CENTCOM-led maritime enforcement operation against Iran, which has been in effect since April 2026. Previous CENTCOM updates have reported dozens of interceptions and turn-backs, though this is the first report of diversions since the 'renewal' of the siege — a term left undefined in the statement.
