US military fires at cargo ship in Gulf of Oman
A U.S. military aircraft fired on a commercial vessel in the Gulf of Oman on 7 November 2026, disabling it; U.S. Central Command says the crew ignored repeated warnings and tried to violate the naval blockade against Iran after visiting an Iranian port. Centcom says enforcement since July 2026 has redirected 147 compliant vessels and disabled five that refused.
