| It has been reported by the UKMTO that there has been a maritime incident involving a tanker and military forces in the Gulf of Oman (exact time and location not specified). UPDATE: It has been reported that a US fighter jet struck and disabled a Panama-flagged cargo vessel in the Gulf of Oman (exact time and location not specified) after its crew ignored repeated warnings and attempted to breach Washington’s naval blockade against Iran. CENTCOM reportedly stated that the vessel had previously departed an Iranian port and was attempting to transit regional waters when US forces intervened. The fighter jet struck the vessel’s stern, completely disabling its propulsion system without injuring any crew members, according to the statement. | |||||
