BREAKING VIDEO – US military DISABLES Iran-bound oil tanker trying to break blockade

by The Right Scoop

The US military just disabled an oil tanker trying to break the blockade to get to Iran’s Kharg Island, and they’ve released video of it.

Here’s what they wrote:

U.S. forces enforced naval blockade measures against Iran, July 15, by disabling an unladen oil tanker attempting to sail toward an Iranian port in the Arabian Gulf.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces observed Curacao-flagged M/T Belma transiting international waters toward Kharg Island. The commercial vessel ignored multiple warnings as it attempted to violate the U.S. blockade. A U.S. aircraft disabled the vessel after firing hellfire missiles into the ship’s smokestack. The ship is no longer transiting to Iran.

U.S. forces resumed the naval blockade against vessels transiting to or from Iranian ports and coastal areas at 4 p.m. ET on July 14. During the first 24 hours of enforcement, CENTCOM has redirected two compliant commercial vessels and disabled one non-compliant vessel.

U.S. forces remain vigilant and prepared to ensure full compliance.
