According to an Associated Press report, the U.S. military attacked a vessel in the Gulf of Oman last night that was attempting to breach the naval blockade on Iran. The vessel tried to break through at least four times, the report said.
The Zioneer reported earlier this morning, citing Reuters, that the U.S. military had disabled a vessel in the same area attempting to breach the blockade. The two reports appear to describe the same incident, with the AP report adding the detail of multiple attempts.
The Zioneer has previously reported on other incidents in the Gulf of Oman and Strait of Hormuz, including an IRGC claim of striking two vessels and a U.S. Marines seizure of an Iranian-flagged vessel. The exact details of this incident remain subject to confirmation from additional sources.
