Sharjah 24 – AFP: A US warplane fired on and disabled an unladen oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman on Monday after the vessel violated Washington's blockade of Iran's ports, the US military said.

The F/A-18 Super Hornet "fired a precision munition into the ship's engineering and steering spaces after the crew failed to comply with directions from US forces," US Central Command said on X, adding that the Palau-flagged ship M/T Marivex "is no longer sailing to Iran."
