The US has blocked Iranian ports, stopping most of the country's economic activity. The blockade, enforced by US Central Command, covers all Iranian ports but not the Strait of Hormuz itself. This means that traffic not related to Iran can still cross the strait. The US is using advanced technology to enforce the blockade, including surveillance and tracking systems. A dozen warships, over 100 aircraft, and more than 10,000 personnel are involved in the blockade. The US has also granted exceptions for humanitarian shipments and allowed a grace period for neutral ships to leave Iranian ports.
