According to U.S.Central Command, the tanker was observed traveling toward an Iranian port in the **Gulf of Oman** and was warned for violating the blockade. After the crew did not comply, U.S.forces **disabled the tanker\u2019s rudder** by firing rounds from the **20mm cannon of a U.S. Navy F\/A-18 Super Hornet** launched from the aircraft carrier **USS Abraham Lincoln**. Central Command said the tanker **no longer continued to Iran**.<\/p>\n<p>The article also states that the blockade remains in full effect and that U.S. forces have **turned back ships** attempting to reach Iranian ports and have **disabled other iranian vessels** attempting to run the blockade.it further notes that during an earlier operation related to opening the **Strait of Hormuz**, U.S. forces fired on several Iranian boats.<\/p>\n<p>In parallel, the piece says President **Donald Trump** claimed a deal wiht Iran could still be possible, but warned that if it does not happen the U.S. would **resume bombing** for as long as needed to target Iran\u2019s capabilities. It references an Axios report describing a proposed one-page deal framework that would,among other things,involve **ending nuclear enrichment** in Iran,**opening the strait of Hormuz**,and lifting sanctions and releasing frozen Iranian funds (with details to be finalized later).  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>An Iranian oil tanker found out Wednesday that America means business in its blockade of Iranian ports.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. Central Command said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CENTCOM\/status\/2052070088233136553\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">post on X<\/a> that its forces \u201cobserved M\/T Hasna as it transited international waters enroute to an Iranian port on the Gulf of Oman.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmerican forces issued multiple warnings and informed the Iranian-flagged vessel it was in violation of the U.S. blockade,\u201d the post said, noting the tanker was not carrying oil at the time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter Hasna\u2019s crew failed to comply with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-lawmakers-warn-biden-against-lifting-iran-sanctions\/\" title=\"GOP Lawmakers Warn Biden Against Lifting Iran Sanctions\">repeated warnings<\/a>, U.S. forces disabled the tanker\u2019s rudder by firing several rounds from the 20mm cannon gun of a U.S. Navy F\/A-18 Super Hornet launched from USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72),\u201d the post said.<\/p>\n<p>The outcome?
