According to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), the blockade went into effect at 4 p.m. ET and there are now more than 20 U.S. Navy warships and “hundreds of military aircraft” currently operating in the region. <\/p>\n

“American forces remain vigilant, lethal, and ready,” CENTCOM said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The U.S. also continued strikes against Iran on Tuesday. U.S. Central Command said the strikes \u201c\u2026will continue imposing a heavy cost on Iranian forces and degrade their ability to attack innocent civilians and commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz,\u201d while Iran claimed to target U.S. bases in the region, and the UAE announced two national tankers were targeted by Iranian cruise missiles in the strait. Those strikes killed one crew member and injured others.<\/p>\n

The latest exchange of fire continues to threaten an interim deal meant to bring a temporary ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran, keep the Strait of Hormuz open, and give both sides time to negotiate a permanent end to the war.<\/p>\n

However, the ongoing exchanges have repeatedly put the fragile ceasefire at risk and fueled worries about the safety of vessels moving through the Strait, a key shipping route that carries roughly 20% of the world\u2019s oil supply.<\/p>\n
