As of July 25, CENTCOM has redirected 12 commercial vessels trying to run the blockade, disabled 2 that didn’t comply, and boarded 2 to ensure total compliance.”One of the vessels was the M/T Lavine, which was intercepted in the Gulf of Oman.“CENTCOM forces disabled Mozambique-flagged M/T Lavine in the Gulf of Oman, July 24, after the crew attempted to violate the blockade multiple times and ignored repeated warnings. The ship is no longer transiting to Iran.”US forces “remain highly vigilant, focused, lethal, and ready”, CENTCOM said.It comes as the widening war spilt into another flashpoint Saturday as Saudi Arabia and Yemen’s Houthi terrorists traded air strikes, raising fears that fighting is spreading into another critical shipping corridor.The latest escalation comes just days after the Iran-backed Houthis attacked several Saudi commercial vessels in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait — a waterway connecting the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden that carries roughly 5 per cent of global maritime trade.
