An account posted at 20:59 UTC on Monday 5 October 2026 said that US Central Command stated that US forces had redirected the 130th commercial vessel attempting to enter or leave Iranian ports on Monday, as part of the US naval blockade of Iran. The post gives no name, flag or destination for the vessel and quotes no CENTCOM text beyond that summary, and it cites no CENTCOM channel of its own. US Central Command has published earlier tallies of vessels redirected and boarded under the same blockade, the most recent of them counting a dozen redirected and two boarded in late July.

Verification: unverified

Evidence: UK_REPT post relaying a CENTCOM statement on the 130th commercial vessel redirected at Iranian ports

A single account relays the CENTCOM figure in its own summary. No CENTCOM post and no other outlet is cited, and the vessel is not identified, so the figure is published as an attributed claim rather than a confirmed count.
