US military says it fired on commercial vessel in Gulf of Oman after it attempted to breach blockade
JERUSALEM (AP) — U.S. Central command said late Saturday that it disabled the St. Kitts-flagged ship after it ignored multiple warnings and attempted to leave the region after visiting an Iranian port.
U.S. forces have been enforcing a naval blockade on Iran for months.
The attack comes a day after the military carried out limited strikes on Iran, targeting an air defense system.
