BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 4. The entry of U.S.
warships into the Strait of Hormuz has been prevented, the
statement of the Iranian military says, Trend reports.
The information notes that this step was taken following a
warning from the Iranian military’s rapid response.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced today
the establishment of a new zone of enhanced maritime control in the
Strait of Hormuz.
As a result of the war between the U.S., Israel, and Iran from
February 28 through April 7, the free passage of ships through the
Strait of Hormuz was significantly restricted.
U.S. Central Command announced that approximately 15,000 U.S.
military personnel, guided-missile destroyers, and more than 100
aircraft will be deployed in Operation Project Freedom to evacuate
ships that have been wrecked in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz
due to the military conflict.
