Two Ships Disabled By U.S. Forces In Gulf Of Oman As Maritime Blockade Tightens

U.S. forces disabled two vessels, identified as M/T Sea Star III and M/T Sevda, on May 8 during enforcement of an ongoing maritime blockade.

The action took place before both ships could reach an Iranian port, where they were reported to be heading in violation of the blockade measures.

The report states the vessels were stopped as part of continued operations aimed at enforcing restrictions on maritime movement linked to Iranian ports.

The incident is described as part of ongoing enforcement activity in the region involving ships attempting to enter restricted port areas.
