Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): The commander of CENTCOM terrorists claimed to completely block Iran's ports and stop Iran's sea trade in the midst of new tensions in the region.
Admiral Brad Cooper, who is in charge of the US aggression forces in the West Asia region (CENTCOM), claimed in an interventionist statement: "The blockade of Iran's ports has been fully implemented... In less than 36 hours, the US forces have completely stopped the flow of maritime trade in and out of Iran."
This White House military official also claimed that "about 90 percent of Iran's economy relies on international maritime trade." This admission is important because the West has always tried to deny the effect of sanctions and military threats on the livelihood of the Iranian people.
Cooper further said that this action is part of efforts to increase pressure on the Islamic Republic in the region.
At the same time, the American CNN network, acknowledging the failure of Donald Trump's naval blockade plan, announced that since the beginning of the naval blockade, several oil tankers and ships related to Iran have passed through the Strait of Hormuz.
Referring to the international navigation lists, the CNN news channel admitted that several ships related to Iran have passed through the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the US naval blockade.
This report, quoting Kepler shipping monitoring company, adds that nine ships related to Iran have passed through the Strait of Hormuz since Monday after the start of the naval blockade by US President Donald Trump.
The Wall Street Journal also quoted American officials as saying that there is no plan to fire at oil tankers leaving Iranian ports.
While the United States is trying to put pressure on Iran through the naval blockade, even many media reports show that this action by Washington has triggered a wave of concern in the countries of the region and even in Europe, so that even Trump's allies in NATO did not agree to accompany this action of Trump.
Reports were published yesterday (Tuesday) that Saudi Arabia has pressured Donald Trump to lift the sea blockade of the Strait of Hormuz out of fear of Yemen's action to close the Strait of Bab al-Mandab.
