Searching a ship and diverting 3 after an attempt to bypass the Iranian blockade

US Central Command (Centcom) announced that members of the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit boarded a ship to verify its compliance with the US naval blockade imposed on Iran.
Central Command said, in a statement, that US forces have so far diverted three commercial ships that attempted to bypass the blockade, disabled a fourth ship that did not comply with instructions, and boarded a fifth ship to ensure its full compliance.
It confirmed that the Strait of Hormuz and its surrounding waters remain open to navigation, with the exception of ships trying to violate the naval blockade on Iran.
