CENTCOM says 38 ships turned back amid blockade
U.S. Central Command said in a post to X late on Sunday that American forces have so far directed 38 vessels to "turn around, or return to port" amid the ongoing blockade of Iranian ports in the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman.
U.S. forces, CENTCOM said, are "preventing ships from entering or exiting."
The USS Abraham Lincoln was captured on satellite imagery some 80 miles from the blockade line -- which separates the Gulf of Oman from the Arabian Sea -- on Sunday, by the European Union-operated Copernicus Sentinel 2 satellite.
