Key FactsUS Naval Blockade Halts Iran’s Maritime Trade

- The US naval blockade halted nearly all of Tehran's maritime economic activity in under 36 hours.
- Advanced surveillance systems enable enforcement from a distance, eliminating the need for ships to be stationed inside the Persian Gulf.
- The blockade lacks a fixed geographic boundary, allowing interception of vessels on international waters before reaching their destinations.
- Iran’s naval forces are limited in responding effectively beyond confined waters due to the design of their small attack boats.
An estimated 90% of Iran's economy is fueled by international trade by sea. In less than 36 hours since the blockade was implemented, US forces have completely halted all economic trade going into and out of Iran by sea.— Adm. Brad Cooper, head of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), said in a statement on social media.
