NEW YORK, October 1. /TASS/. The US military has redirected 125 commercial vessels since mid-July when the United States resumed its naval blockade against Iran, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said.

"As of Sept. 30, CENTCOM forces have redirected 125 commercial vessels to ensure strict compliance," it wrote on X.

The United States and Israel launched a war against Iran on February 28. In June, Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum of understanding envisaging an immediate ceasefire on all fronts, including in Lebanon. However, the United States resumed large-scale attacks on Iran overnight to July 8, having accused it of breaching the existing agreements in what concerned the Strait of Hormuz, a global chokepoint for approximately 25% of oil and some 20% of LNG supplies.
