The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) will resume blockading maritime traffic entering and exiting Iranian ports at 20:00 GMT on Tuesday, the command said Monday.

"The resumption of the U.S. blockade against Iran follows the initial implementation from April 13 to June 18," CENTCOM said in a post on X.

"CENTCOM forces redirected more than 140 compliant vessels, disabled nine non-compliant ships, and allowed over 50 commercial vessels supporting humanitarian aid to pass through the blockade during the two-month period," said the command.

Earlier Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump said on social media that the United States was reinstating a naval blockade on Iran in the Strait of Hormuz and would impose a 20 percent toll on all cargo shipped through the strategic waterway.

Trump formally notified Congress on Friday that the United States had resumed military operations against Iran, U.S. media reported Monday.
