Iranian ship enters southern port after breaking US blockade

The Iranian military said that an Iranian oil tanker entered a port in the country's south after breaking a US blockade.

The military statement said that despite repeated warnings and threats from the US Navy's terrorist forces, the oil tanker Silica City entered Iranian waters from the Arabian Sea last night with the help of the Iranian army and navy and anchored in a southern port a few hours ago.

The United States has not commented on this.

On the other hand, the US military's central command in the region, Centcom, said in a brief statement yesterday that since the beginning of the naval blockade against Iran, US forces have forced 27 ships to change course or return to Iranian ports.

US forces have seized an oil tanker named 'M/T Tiffany' on charges of aiding Iran in the Asia-Pacific region. The operation was carried out on Monday (April 20) night at the order of the Pentagon (now renamed the Department of War by the Trump administration).

The United States has taken this step primarily to enforce international sanctions on Iran and block the passage of ships helping the country.
