WASHINGTON, JUNE 18 /SRNA/ - The U.S. Central Command said it has lifted the naval blockade of Iranian ports and coastline, in line with President Donald Trump’s decision.

"U.S. forces are not impeding the transit of vessels to or from Iranian ports in the Arabian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. All actions under the U.S. naval blockade have ceased," the statement posted on X said.

Central Command added that large U.S. naval vessels will remain in the general area to ensure that all aspects of the agreement are fully respected.
