U.S. Blockade of Iran Is Fully Implemented
(New York Times) Jenny Gross - The U.S. Navy blockade of Iranian ports appeared to be working on Wednesday, with no Iranian-linked ships visibly able to leave the region since the blockade took effect 48 hours earlier, according to U.S. authorities and vessel-tracking firms. U.S. Central Command head Adm. Brad Cooper said Tuesday that the blockade had been "fully implemented" and had "completely stopped" commercial traffic to and from Iranian ports. More than a dozen Navy ships are enforcing a blockade on all vessels from all nations entering or leaving coastal areas or ports in Iran.
