U.S. Central Command Says It Has Lifted the Naval Blockade on Iran

U.S. Central Command, known as CENTCOM, said it has lifted the naval blockade it had imposed on Iran. In the same announcement, the command said American naval forces will remain in the region to ensure that the agreement between the United States and Iran is carried out.

The statement did not provide additional details about the timing of the move or the terms of the accord, but it made clear that the U.S. military presence at sea will continue for monitoring and enforcement purposes.
