Turin, 17 April (LaPresse) – The US armed forces have the necessary resources to maintain the naval blockade on ships entering and leaving Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz ‘for as long as necessary’, and the blockade ‘will remain in place for as long as the President deems it necessary’. Admiral Bradley Cooper, head of US Central Command (Centcom), told reporters this today. CNN reports this. ‘US forces are keeping an eye on every Iranian port,’ he said, including through aerial reconnaissance carried out by MQ-9 drones and P8 maritime patrol aircraft. ‘We are able to maintain this surveillance for as long as necessary,’ he added.
