According to CoinMeta, on August 8th local time, the U.S. Central Command stated that U.S. Navy personnel were conducting maintenance on F/A-18E Super Hornet fighter jets on the USS Lincoln aircraft carrier to ensure that the carrier strike group's equipment remained combat-ready and to continue to strictly enforce the maritime blockade against Iran. As of that day, the U.S. military had directed 53 merchant ships to change their routes, rendered 2 ships unable to sail, and boarded 2 ships for inspection. In addition, the U.S. military also allowed more than 30 ships carrying humanitarian aid supplies to pass through the blockade zone.
