U.S. Navy Disables Two More Iranian Tankers as Hormuz Blockade Enforcement Intensifies
Mike Schuler May 8, 2026
U.S. forces disabled two additional Iranian-flagged oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman on Friday as Washington expanded enforcement of its maritime blockade targeting vessels entering or leaving Iranian ports.
In a statement released Friday morning, U.S. Central Command said American forces intercepted and disabled the tankers M/T Sea Star III and M/T Sevda before the vessels could enter an Iranian port in violation of the blockade.
According to CENTCOM, a U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet launched from USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) fired precision munitions into the vessels’ smokestacks, disabling both ships and preventing them from completing their voyage to Iran.
“All three vessels are no longer transiting to Iran,” CENTCOM said, referring to Friday’s operation and the earlier disabling of the Iranian-flagged tanker M/T Hasna on May 6. In that incident, a Super Hornet launched from USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) fired 20mm cannon rounds into the tanker’s rudder after the vessel allegedly ignored repeated warnings from U.S. forces.
The latest actions mark another escalation in Washington’s increasingly aggressive enforcement campaign tied to the U.S. naval blockade announced in April. The blockade applies to vessels of all nations entering or departing Iranian ports while allowing commercial traffic transiting to non-Iranian destinations through the Strait of Hormuz.
“U.S. forces in the Middle East remain committed to full enforcement of the blockade of vessels entering or leaving Iran,” CENTCOM commander Adm. Brad Cooper said in Friday’s statement. “Our highly trained men and women in uniform are doing incredible work.”
CENTCOM said multiple commercial vessels have now been disabled and more than 50 redirected since enforcement operations began.
The announcement comes less than 24 hours after CENTCOM confirmed Iranian forces launched missiles, drones and fast boats at three U.S. Navy destroyers transiting the Strait of Hormuz, triggering retaliatory American strikes on Iranian military facilities. President Donald Trump later claimed Iranian attacking forces had been “completely destroyed” during the confrontation and said the destroyers would rejoin what he called a U.S. “Wall of Steel” blockade around Iran.
