U.S. Fighter Jet Silences Two Iranian Blockade Tankers in Gulf of Oman
TL;DR Summary
A U.S. Navy F/A-18 from the USS George H.W. Bush disabled two Iranian-flagged tankers, Sea Star III and Sevda, by striking their smokestacks as they attempted to pass through the Gulf of Oman in violation of the ongoing blockade of Iran’s ports. CENTCOM says the vessels were non-compliant and no longer transiting to Iran, following similar prior actions against Iranian-flagged ships; the operation is part of a broader maritime effort to enforce the blockade and protect commercial shipping in the region.
