[U.S. Military Blockade of Iranian Ports Shows No Signs of Easing] Odaily Planet Daily News – Recordings from public radio channels near the Strait of Hormuz indicate that on the 24th, the U.S. military continued to issue warning shots at vessels entering or leaving Iranian ports, with no signs of easing the maritime blockade. Recordings provided by crew members on ships stranded near the strait reveal that the U.S. military fired warning shots at a vessel that day, forcing it to remain in waters near Iran's Chabahar Port. UK-based maritime analytics firm Windward stated on the 24th that despite reports of a potential agreement between the U.S. and Iran, there has been no significant change in the navigational situation in the Strait of Hormuz. Satellite images obtained by the company show that large oil tankers remain anchored near key locations such as Iran's Larak Island in the northern part of the Strait of Hormuz or other critical waterways. Only a small number of vessels, primarily small cargo ships, are entering and exiting the strait. (Xinhua News Agency)
