United States Central Command (CENTCOM) disabled a commercial vessel attempting to breach the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday.
The vessel departed an Iranian port and was stopped in the Gulf of Oman, according to CENTCOM. The command claimed that the civilian crew ignored the warnings several times and tried to reach international waters. US troops fired "precision munitions" at the St. Kitts-flagged tanker after directing the crew to abandon targeted spaces.
CENTCOM has redirected 147 commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz since July.
