On Monday 13th April, at 10am Eastern Standard Time, at the direction of the President, America's Joint Force began implementing a blockade against Iran under the leadership of Admiral Cooper and the team at centcom. Let me be clear. This blockade applies to all ships, regardless of nationality, heading into or from Iranian ports. The US Action is a blockade of Iran's ports and coastline, not a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Enforcement will occur inside Iran's territorial seas and in international waters. (11:26–11:37)
CLAIM
Asserts that the blockade affects all ships entering or leaving Iranian ports.
