Santec reports tanker protest near Iran
The U.S. Central Command announced that it disabled an empty oil tanker as it was crossing the Gulf of Oman heading toward Iran, as part of its efforts to impose a blockade on Iranian ports. A F/A-18 Super Hornet aircraft equipped with precision munitions from the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln targeted the vessel’s systems after the crew refused to comply with American directives, causing it to cease sailing. Since the start of the blockade in April, seven ships have been disabled and 134 ships have been rerouted, while 42 ships carrying humanitarian aid have been allowed to pass.
