As the Iran War stalemate continues, US Central Command releases video of the military rerouting a ship during the Hormuz blockade.

Video of the US Navy diverting a merchant ship to enforce an embargo on Iranian ports was made public by the US Central Command (CENTCOM) on Thursday. A sailor on board the USS Michael Murphy (Warship 112) can be seen speaking with the "Motor Vessel Molly" in a post on X, telling the crew that the ship will be escorted to its next port of call.

“Thank you for your cooperation,” the sailor can be heard saying in the video.

CENTCOM added that US forces remain fully prepared to maintain the blockade for as long as necessary. It also said that US forces are actively enforcing a large-scale maritime blockade targeting Iran's ports and coastline, involving more than 10,000 personnel, over a dozen naval vessels, and upwards of 100 aircraft.

In a post on X, it said, “USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) transits the Arabian Sea as the United States blockades Iran's ports and coastline. U.S. forces are NOT blockading the Strait of Hormuz. More than 10,000 American service members, 12+ ships, and 100+ aircraft have enforced the blockade in regional waters, ensuring that no vessels violate the President's proclamation.”

Photos of soldiers on board the USS Delbert D Black (DDG 119), a guided-missile destroyer, were released by Central Command. Following the failure of negotiations with Iran in Pakistan this weekend, President Donald Trump announced that the United States would begin shutting the Strait of Hormuz. On Monday at 10 a.m. (local time), the blockade became operative.

Since then, there hasn't been much of a change in the Strait of Hormuz trade; according to maritime data, at least eight ships, including three tankers connected to Iran, crossed the vital waterway on Tuesday.

Currently, Washington and Iran are abiding by the two-week ceasefire that started last week, with reports suggesting that the two nations are considering extending their ceasefire by two weeks to create more time for negotiating a broader peace deal.

"We're doing very well with the blockade. It's very routine for us. The Navy's incredible, and I think the blockade is doing very well. No ship is even thinking about entering. No ship is going past our Navy," Trump said highlighting the ongoing US military measures in the region.
