Sahtakoum targets ship breaching Iran blockade
The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed that it targeted and disabled a commercial cargo ship that attempted to circumvent the maritime blockade imposed on Iran in the Gulf of Oman. The ship ignored repeated warnings and was subsequently hit by precise fire, which disabled its propulsion system without causing any harm to the crew. The statement noted that the vessel was sailing after departing from an Iranian port in an effort to bypass the blockade, which the United States has imposed on all ships passing Iranian ports since July. This blockade has resulted in the interference with 4 ships, the direction of 135 others, and the destruction of 10 Iranian Revolutionary Guard-linked oil tankers. U.S. forces have urged mariners to comply with the blockade warnings and to communicate with them when crossing the Gulf of Oman and the Strait of Hormuz.
