<p class="text-align-justify">It is reported that Iran will be seeking alternative means to get shipments in/out of the country amid the US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz currently. These alternative ports are said to be located in the southern region of Iran. No specific names are being mentioned as to which ports these may be though.</p><p class="text-align-justify">Well, I'm not sure how that would work honestly. The more prominent ports south of Iran are still somewhat located along the Gulf of Oman. And I would wager that these ports will also be heavily guarded and monitored by the US as part of their blockade.</p><p class="text-align-justify">The Chabahar Port is arguably the one located furthest out of the Strait of Hormuz but it would not take much for the US to reposition to add that as part of their blockade I would assume. We shall see I guess.</p><p class="text-align-justify">While some ships have managed to pass through the US blockade in the past 36 hours, US military forces have now reaffirmed that the blockade is "fully implemented" a few hours ago. Adding that "US forces have completely halted all economic trade going into and out of Iran by sea".</p>
