„We‘re enforcing the blockade across the board against any ship of any nationality that is transiting to or from an Iranian port or territory,“ Caine said.
„We‘re closely tracking vessels of ​interest headed towards Iran ​and those moving ⁠away from Iran that were outside the blockade area when this blockade was ordered and … we‘re prepared and postured to intercept them,“ he ​said.

The U.S. naval blockade on Iran began on April 13.
