US military says it disabled cargo vessel in Gulf of Oman

An American military aircraft fired on and disabled a commercial vessel that tried to break the US blockade of Iran on Saturday, US Central Command said.
The St. Kitts-flagged cargo vessel tried to depart regional waters after visiting an Iranian port, and a US plane fired precision munitions at its stern after US forces directed the crew to abandon targeted spaces, Central Command said.
Building on a months-long naval blockade on Iran, the US military also said on Saturday it is launching a task force to crack down on Tehran’s movement of advanced weapons and other sanctioned material over its land borders and through the Caspian Sea.
