U.S. disables ship trying to break Iran blockade
The U.S. Central Command has disrupted the movement of the cargo ship "Vila Nova," flying the Panamanian flag, during its attempt to pass through the Gulf of Oman heading toward an Iranian port. A U.S. helicopter launched two "Hellfire" missiles at its engine room after the crew ignored warnings. This action is part of the enforcement of the American blockade imposed on Iran. To date, the command has diverted more than 55 commercial vessels, disrupted three of them, and boarded two others, all aimed at enforcing a naval blockade on Iran and preventing it from reaching its ports. Over 20 U.S. warships are in the region to support these operations.
