US military says it disabled cargo vessel trying to run Iran blockade
- Central Command disabled the Panama-flagged Ocean Molica, also known as the Arika Sun, in the Gulf of Oman on Saturday after the vessel attempted to run the ongoing naval blockade against Iran.
- The cargo ship ignored repeated warnings while attempting to transit regional waters after departing an Iranian port, Command stated.
- An American jet struck the stern of the Ocean Molica with 'a precision munition, fully disabling the ship's propulsion without harming the crew,' the military confirmed.
- Command warned mariners in the Gulf and approaches to the Strait of Hormuz to heed blockade warnings, monitor broadcasts, and contact naval forces.
- Shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz fell to the lowest level in more than two months, a vital waterway that previously carried 20 per cent of global oil consumption.
