Since the beginning of the naval blockade, the US Navy has seized 94 Iranian-linked merchant ships going to or from Iranian ports.

Modern.az reports that this was stated in the information of the US Central Command (CENTCOM) in the Middle East.

"As of May 21, Central Command forces have directed 94 merchant ships and disabled four, imposing a blockade to prevent the flow of cargo to Iranian ports," the statement said.
