00:00First, let me address what's happening in the strait right now.
00:02We know that there is a blockade of ships directed by the President
00:05for ships entering and departing Iranian ports only.
00:09This has been fully implemented and is in full force.
00:12This blockade was reimposed due to Iran's inability to honor their agreement with the United States of America.
00:18More than 10,000 U.S. sailors, Marines, and airmen, along with two aircraft carriers
00:23and more than 20 warships and dozens of aircraft are executing the blockade mission as we speak.
00:28And during the first 24 hours of the blockade, U.S. CENTCOM has redirected two compliant commercial vessels
00:35and disabled one non-compliant vessel.
00:37So, look, the strait is open for ships that are not traveling to and from Iranian ports specifically,
00:44and the U.S. Navy is there to ensure that can take place.
