Centcom Says 30 Commercial Vessels Redirected by US Naval Blockade

US Central Command (Centcom) says 30 commercial vessels have been redirected as part of the US naval blockade amid escalating tensions in the Middle East.

According to Centcom, the rerouting was carried out to enhance maritime security and manage commercial shipping in the affected region.

The development comes as military activity continues to disrupt key sea lanes, raising concerns over global trade and energy supplies.

There was no immediate response from Iran regarding the reported vessel diversions.

International leaders continue to call for de-escalation and diplomatic efforts to safeguard freedom of navigation and regional stability.

Analysts say the large-scale diversion of commercial shipping highlights the growing impact of the conflict on global maritime trade.
