(FOX NEWS) — U.S. Central Command announced Tuesday that the military has now redirected 108 commercial ships during the ongoing blockade of Iranian ports.

The blockade began on April 13 and remains in effect as the U.S. and Iran are trying to reach a diplomatic solution to end the war.

“Our service members are doing extraordinary work,” Adm. Brad Cooper, CENTCOM commander, said in a statement last week. “They have been highly effective by executing the mission with precision and professionalism, allowing zero trade into and out of Iranian ports which has squeezed Iran economically.”

CENTCOM also said “More than U.S. 200 aircraft and warships are supporting the mission, including the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group, George H.W. Bush Carrier Strike Group, Tripoli Amphibious Ready Group/31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, and multiple guided-missile destroyers.”
