US Iran War News | Iran Claims It Downed MQ-9 Drone As US Strikes Damage Children's Cancer Hospital

Описание: A US aircraft fired on and disabled an unladen oil tanker Wednesday as it tried to break the naval blockade of Iran's ports, the US military said.

The aircraft "disabled the vessel after firing Hellfire missiles into the ship's smokestack. The ship is no longer transiting to Iran," US Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a post on X, identifying the tanker as the Curacao-flagged M/T Belma.

It was the first time the United States has forcibly halted a vessel since reinstating the ports blockade at 2000 GMT on Tuesday.

CENTCOM also said it had "redirected two compliant commercial vessels" in the first 24 hours of enforcing the blockade.
