The US has announced a blockade on ships entering or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas. The blockade will start on Monday at 10am Eastern time. US forces will not impede vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz to and from non-Iranian ports. The move is a response to Iran's actions in the region.
