US Hits Botswana-Flagged Oil Tanker Bound For Iran, CENTCOM Releases Video

Описание: The United States said it intercepted and disabled the Botswana-registered tanker M/T Lexie after the vessel allegedly failed to respond to repeated directives from US forces over an extended period.

US Central Command stated that a Hellfire missile was used to disable the ship, preventing it from continuing its voyage toward Iran. The incident forms part of Washington's wider maritime enforcement campaign, under which several vessels linked to Iranian trade routes have reportedly been stopped or redirected.
