(2 months ago)American forces have hit and disabled two tankers with Iranian flag, “Sea Star III” and “Sevda”, while trying to access an Iranian port in opposition to the naval blockade imposed by Washington against Iran.
According to American Central Command (CENTCOM), the attack was carried out 8 May by a fighter plane F/A-18 Super Horns launched by US aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush.
The plane struck with precise ammunition shuttle chimneys, leaving them out of office and preventing them from entering Iranian territory.
American media report this is the third time in weeks that the US uses military force to implement the blockade against Iran, reports the U.S. Telegraph, broadcast Periscope.
Earlier, another Iranian tanker was neutralised near the Strait of Hormuz, while the ship “Tousca” was banned by the U.S. Navy after refusing to obey warnings.
The operation takes place at a period of high tensions in the Middle East, where the US has deployed three aircraft carriers in the region for the first time since 2003. According to CENTCOM, more than 70 tanker ships have so far been banned from entering Iranian ports. /Periscope
