CENTCOM, the United States Central Command, announced that since the start of the maritime blockade until Friday, May 6, it has prevented the entry or exit of more than 70 oil tankers from Iranian ports.

In its latest message on the social media platform X, CENTCOM stated that these commercial vessels have the capacity to carry over 166 million barrels of Iranian oil, estimated to be worth more than $13 billion.

This announcement came just hours after the U.S. military reported that its forces intercepted "unprovoked" Iranian attacks against American destroyers in the Strait of Hormuz early Friday morning and, in response, targeted "Iranian military facilities."
