US forces fired a missile at a Panamanian-flagged merchant ship that was trying to break a blockade on Iran, the US Central Command in the Middle East (CENTCOM) said. "U.S. Central Command forces disabled a commercial cargo ship in the Gulf of Oman after its crew ignored repeated warnings and attempted to break an ongoing naval blockade of Iran," the report said.
