US Forces Disable Small Cargo Ship in the Gulf of Oman
CENTCOM reported on May 30 that U.S. forces disabled the Liam Star, a 1,600 dwt general cargo ship registered in Gambia, on May 29 after it ignored more than 20 warnings and was heading toward an Iranian port. A U.S. aircraft fired a Hellfire missile into the ship's engine room. As of Saturday, CENTCOM had redirected 116 vessels, with the U.S. military stopping a total of six ships attempting to breach the blockade that began on April 17.
