Chabahar backlog persists as US blockade continues

U.S. Central Command reports that more than 20 vessels remain moored or anchored at Iran's Chabahar Port as part of the American naval blockade, compared to an average of five vessels daily before the blockade was imposed. CENTCOM stated that U.S. forces are blocking economic trade directed to and from Iran. The Wall Street Journal previously reported that President Trump instructed his aides to prepare for a prolonged blockade of Iran, indicating the operation may continue for an extended period.
