U.S. Central Command Redirects 55 Ships Toward Iran
The US Central Command (CentCom) reported earlier on Tuesday that it disabled the vessel "Vila Nova," which flies the Panamanian flag, by using a helicopter that fired two rockets at its engine room, causing it to stop heading towards Iran. It also confirmed that it rerouted 55 ships that attempted to breach Iran's blockade, disabled three ships, and boarded two others as part of its efforts to strengthen control over regional waterways and prevent any Iranian threats. American forces maintained an open southern Passage in the Strait of Hormuz, and 44 ships have changed their course since the resumption of the Iran blockade, with several other ships having stopped and been redirected.
