The US administration has announced an extension of the ceasefire in the region, with a naval blockade in place to pressure Iran into a permanent ceasefire.
The blockade, which targets Iranian ports, aims to fill the Kharg Island storage and shut down the country's fragile oil wells.
Kharg Island is a crucial hub for nearly 90% of Iran's oil exports, with millions of barrels of crude being shipped daily to international markets.
The US has been trying to negotiate a ceasefire with Iran, which has been at war since February 28.
US President Donald Trump has directed the military to continue the blockade and extend the ceasefire until Iran's leaders come up with a unified proposal.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has stated that the blockade will continue to apply maximum pressure on Iran's economy, targeting its primary revenue lifelines.
