CENTCOM Terrorist Claim: On November 7, after the civilian crew of a merchant ship ignored repeated warnings and repeatedly attempted to breach Iran's naval blockade, US forces disabled the St. Kitts-flagged vessel MV Hodi in the Sea of Oman. A US military aircraft stopped the ship by firing precision munitions at its stern after ordering the evacuation of the target sections. The ship intended to leave the waters of the area after visiting a port in Iran.
