US military reports Gulf of Oman attack
The U.S. military announced that it disabled a commercial cargo ship flying the Panamanian flag, known as Ariana Sun, in the Gulf of Oman after it attempted to breach the naval blockade imposed on Iran. This was carried out by targeting the rear of the ship with precision ammunition, which disabled its propulsion system without harming the crew. The U.S. Central Command stated that the vessel was trying to cross territorial waters after departing from an Iranian port and warned shipping companies in the region to exercise caution, especially as the number of ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz has fallen to its lowest level in more than two months. This decline raises concerns about potential disruptions to shipping traffic and rising oil prices. Approximately 20% of the world's oil consumption also passes through this strait before tensions with Iran escalated.
