U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has announced that yesterday, May 29, forces operating in the Gulf of Oman, enforcing blockade measures against Iran, fired on and disabled a Gambia-flagged cargo vessel, identified as the M/V LIAN STAR, after it refused several warnings and continued sailing towards an Iranian port in the Gulf. According to CENTCOM, a U.S. military aircraft, likely an AH-64E Apache, disabled the vessel by firing an AGM-114 “Hellfire” Air-to-Surface Missile into the engine room of the Lian Star.
