In a statement from the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) on its social media account, it was reported that the US naval blockade against Iran continues. The statement noted that as of July 25, 12 commercial ships attempting to 'bypass the blockade' were rerouted, and 2 ships that 'did not comply with instructions' were decommissioned. It was also stated that 2 ships were raided 'to ensure full compliance.' The statement mentioned that after US soldiers boarded the Comoros-flagged ship 'M/T Charminar' for 'verification purposes,' the ship continued its journey, while the Mozambique-flagged ship 'M/T Lavine' was neutralized for 'ignoring warnings and attempting to breach the blockade.'
