What happened

The vessel was disabled by the US military in the Gulf of Oman near an Iranian port. CENTCOM said a US Navy F/A-18 fired precision munitions into the smokestack of the Iranian-flagged unladen oil tanker before it entered the 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.
