The U.S. Navy reports it has intercepted or redirected at least seven Iranian-linked vessels since the start of its naval blockade. Specific actions include the hard seizure of the vessel Touska on April 19, where the USS Spruance fired upon it before Marines boarded. On April 21, the M/T Tifani was boarded in the Indian Ocean and remains loitering in the area. These operations demonstrate the ongoing enforcement of the U.S. blockade against Iranian maritime activity.
