The US military has reported disabling a commercial ship in the Gulf of Oman after its crew allegedly ignored repeated warnings. US Central Command also claimed that American forces destroyed 10 oil tankers linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.

According to CENTCOM, a US fighter jet struck the rear section of the Panama-flagged ship MV Ocean Molika, also known as Erika Sun. The military said the aircraft used precision-guided ammunition during the operation.

US officials said the strike damaged the vessel’s engine and propulsion system, leaving it unable to move independently. They added that no crew members sustained injuries during the incident. CENTCOM alleged that the ship’s crew disregarded several warnings issued by American forces.

US authorities said the vessel attempted to cross a naval blockade and had previously sailed from an Iranian port. The operation reportedly forms part of broader US efforts to restrict shipping connected to Iranian ports.

American officials say their forces are acting against vessels suspected of breaching the blockade.  US military figures also refer to operations involving four commercial vessels and the destruction of 10 oil tankers.

However, the available report does not identify each vessel or provide separate details about the incidents. The reported strike comes amid heightened tensions over maritime activity near Iran and the Gulf of Oman.

The region serves as an important route for commercial shipping and energy supplies. The account is based on statements from the US military. The report does not include an independent account from the ship’s operators or confirmation from Iranian authorities regarding the incident.
