A fresh US-Iran confrontation unfolds in the Gulf of Oman after US Central Command says its forces disabled the M/V Huda, a commercial vessel sailing under the flag of St Kitts and Nevis. According to CENTCOM, the ship had visited an Iranian port and ignored repeated warnings while attempting to breach the US naval blockade. A US military aircraft reportedly fired on the vessel, leaving it disabled. CENTCOM says its blockade enforcement operations have redirected 147 commercial vessels and disabled five ships that refused to comply. Meanwhile, Iranian state media reports explosions on Qeshm Island and near the port of Jask, adding to tensions around the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.
