On May 30, May 29 local time, the U.S. Central Command warned that it would carry out military operations near the Strait of Hormuz and attack ships involved in or supporting the laying of mines in the name of self-defense. The U.S. Central Command issued a notice through the Joint Maritime Information Center stating that Iran is still trying to obstruct mine-clearing operations and safe navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, and that any ship found to be involved in mine-laying activities may become a target by the U.S. military. At the same time, the US military said it is still implementing maritime blockade measures against Iran. As of May 29, 115 commercial ships had been forced to change course. (CCTV News)
