Since late February, Tehran has restricted traffic through the waterway, requiring vessels to use routes authorized by the Islamic Republic.

US Central Command reported that US forces disabled a St. Kitts-flagged commercial vessel in the Gulf of Oman after it ignored warnings and attempted to leave the region following a visit to an Iranian port. The command stated that US forces have been enforcing a naval blockade on Iran in and around the Strait of Hormuz for months.

The last confirmed US strike on a cargo vessel occurred nearly a month ago in the Gulf of Oman.
