Open-sources have reported that U.S. forces intercepted an Iranian-flagged container vessel in the Gulf of Oman (exact time and position not specified). Information from Donald Trump on Truth Social, states that the vessel attempted to breach the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports and was given fair warning to stop. The Iranian crew refused to comply, resulting in U.S. Navy forces disabling the vessel by "blowing a hole in the engine room". U.S. Marines have taken full custody of the vessel and are conducting an inspection of the cargo. The vessel is reported to be under U.S. Treasury sanctions due to prior illegal activity.
