President Trump ordered U.S. warships and aircraft to stop vessels going to and from Iran. The directive reinstates a naval blockade after the cease-fire between the parties ended.
Enforcing a blockade requires a large number of warships and aircraft to monitor and intercept traffic. The U.S. military has previously conducted similar operations in the region.
The New York Times reported that maintaining continuous coverage of Iranian ports demands sustained naval and air assets. No additional details on duration or specific locations were provided in the report.
