U.S. Navy halts ship near Iranian ports
The U.S. military has reported that it fired upon a commercial vessel attempting to breach the blockade imposed on Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz. The tanker "MT Laffin" was disabled after its crew refused to comply with warnings. This is the second ship to be disabled since the U.S. reimposed sanctions on Iran, with the United States issuing directives to twelve other vessels attempting to break the blockade. Tensions between Washington and Tehran are escalating over control of the Strait of Hormuz, which the U.S. considers a vital passage for navigation, after Iran announced that it had prevented three oil tankers from passing through.
