What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

U.S. Central Command disabled a commercial cargo vessel in the Gulf of Oman on October 10. The ship, which flew the flag of Panama, was attempting to run the naval blockade against Iran after having departed an Iranian port. The vessel was struck with a precision munition, which disabled its propulsion without harming the crew. Sen. Chris Murphy subsequently questioned the Trump administration's long-term strategy, arguing the blockade carries an exorbitant cost to taxpayers.
