Eye in the sky - US Navy jets launch amid ongoing Hormuz blockade

"Navy jets were launched from a US aircraft carrier as American forces continued enforcement activity linked to the blockade of Iranian ports, according to US Central Command (CENTCOM). Footage shows flight deck crews directing fighter jets for take-off, pilots boarding aircraft, and jets accelerating off the carrier deck as personnel coordinate launch operations. According to CENTCOM, 14 vessels have so far complied with enforcement measures over the past 72 hours since the reported start of the operation. The figures have not been independently confirmed. Earlier, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth asserted that safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz will be allowed for ships and tankers not travelling to or from Iranian ports. The US has not released further technical details on the scope or legal framework of the reported measures, while maritime traffic in the wider region continues to be closely monitored amid heightened tensions involving Iran and shipping routes in the Strait of Hormuz area. The date and location of the footage could not be verified at time of publication."
