US forces struck and disabled another oil tanker attempting to bypass their blockade of Iranian ports this week, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said Thursday.
A US aircraft fired two Hellfire missiles into the engine room of the Guinea-Bissau-flagged vessel "after the crew repeatedly failed to comply with directions from US forces," CENTCOM said.
It was the third such US strike this week and the ninth since the blockade began, said CENTCOM, which oversees US forces in the Middle East.
