U.S. military fires missile into engine room of blockade runner after it ignored more than 20 warnings while trying to enter an Iranian port
The U.S. military has intercepted a merchant vessel attempting to breach a blockade of Iranian ports by firing a missile into its engine room. The ship, the Lian Star, ignored over 20 warnings from U.S. forces before the action was taken in the Gulf of Oman. This incident is part of a larger U.S. effort to limit Iran's shipments and weaken its economy, with six ships having been stopped in total as part of the blockade initiated in April. AI
