What happened
The vessel was disabled by the US military in the Gulf of Oman. CENTCOM said an F/A-18 fired several 20 mm cannon rounds to disable the rudder of the Iranian-flagged unladen oil tanker after repeated warnings. CENTCOM described the vessel as sailing toward an Iranian port. No injury information was reported; the release also did not state the precise position or pollution status, and said only that the vessel was no longer transiting to Iran.
