US Central Command announced that the naval blockade imposed on Iran, known as the "Steel Wall", has completed its 100th day and has prevented Tehran from exporting crude oil worth at least $25 billion. Reports said the blockade began in mid-April, was halted in June, and was reimposed in July, while Washington stated that the US Navy is capable of continuing the blockade of Iranian ports.
The reports centered on the announced US figures ($25 billion and 100 days), while جريدة القدس added details on the "Steel Wall" name, the blockade's timeline and shipping-tracking data; CNN Arabic emphasized the funding of the Revolutionary Guard and militias, whereas one lebanon debate report was limited to Washington's statement that the navy can continue the blockade without further details.
