US Central Command, CENTCOM, says US forces disabled a commercial cargo ship in the Sea of Oman on October 10 after its crew ignored repeated warnings and tried to breach Iran's naval blockade. According to Centcom, an American fighter using guided munitions targeted the rear of the Panamanian-flagged Ocean Mullica; This ship, also known as the Erika Sun, was targeted and its propulsion system was completely disabled. Centcom says the crew was not hurt. Centcom said that this ship passed through the waters of the area after leaving an Iranian port. The U.S. Central Command says that Washington renewed the blockade of ships entering or leaving Iranian ports since July 14, disabling four commercial ships and forcing 135 ships to change course in the past three months. Centcom also claimed that during that time it destroyed 10 tankers linked to the IRGC's "shadow network". Centcom
