A Navy F-18 Super Hornet disabled an Iranian-flagged commercial ship in the Strait of Hormuz, according to U.S. Central Command, or CENTCOM. The ship was warned to stop, said U.S. officials, as part of a U.S.-imposed blockade on the strait in recent weeks, before the jet attacked.
The incident happened about 9 a.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, a CENTCOM news release says. According to the U.S. military, the MT/Hasna, an Iranian-flagged oil tanker traveling unloaded, ignored multiple warnings from U.S. forces, the news release says.

The integration of these platforms “frequently failed,” the service said.
