🛑 BREAKING: US FIRES HELLFIRE MISSILE AT OIL TANKER HEADING TO IRAN!
US Central Command (CENTCOM) states that US forces have neutralized the oil tanker flagged under Botswana, M/T Lexie, after the vessel ignored multiple warnings while heading towards Kharg Island – the most critical oil export hub of Iran.
According to CENTCOM, after over 24 hours of issuing warnings without cooperation from the crew, a US aircraft launched an AGM-114 Hellfire missile that struck the ship's engine room, rendering the vessel unable to continue its journey to Iran.
Washington asserts this is part of a maritime blockade campaign against Iran's ports initiated on April 13. To date, the US claims it has neutralized 6 commercial vessels and forced 122 others to change course.
This incident continues to highlight that tensions in maritime routes around Iran remain high, despite ongoing diplomatic efforts in the region.
