According to Arutz Sheva, US Central Command (CENTCOM) stated in an operational update that American forces are working around the clock to keep the Strait of Hormuz open and enforce a naval blockade against Iran. The report notes that since July, nearly 150 ships attempting to violate the blockade have been redirected, and five have been disabled. CENTCOM claims these efforts have prevented the export of an estimated $30 billion in Iranian crude oil. Additionally, the command announced the establishment of 'Task Force Iron Gate' on November 7, 2026, to disrupt IRGC efforts to circumvent sanctions via land routes and the Caspian Sea.
