What Happened
US Central Command reported that no vessels passed its blockade at Iran's ports during the first 48 hours, with nine ships turned back. However, maritime tracking data from AFP and Kpler indicated at least three Iran-linked ships crossed the Strait of Hormuz after the blockade began Monday. Seven Iran-linked vessels reportedly passed through after the US blockade took effect following failed peace talks.
