The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that it struck a tanker attempting to transport Iranian oil on June 10, marking the third commercial ship disabled by U.S. forces this week.
In a statement ,the command said that an American aircraft fired two “Hellfire missiles” into the engine room of the tanker, identified as the Guinea-Bissau flagged Jalveer, after the crew “repeatedly failed to comply with directions from U.S. forces.”
The Palau-flagged vessels Marivex and Settebello were struck by U.S. forces in a similar fashion on June 7 and 8, respectively. CENTCOM said that Marivex violated the blockade on Iran by attempting to sail to a port in the Islamic Republic and Settebello attempted to transport Iranian oil.
U.S. President Donald Trump ordered the blockade on Iranian ports just four days after the ceasefire went into effect, in response to the Islamic Republic’s restriction on maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz — a checkpoint for around 20 percent of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments.
CENTCOM noted in its latest statement that its forces have disabled nine non-compliant vessels, redirected 135 ships that complied, and allowed 42 vessels supporting humanitarian aid to pass since initiating the blockade on April 13.
“The blockade is being enforced impartially against vessels of all nations entering or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas, including all Iranian ports on the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman,” the command warned.
The latest attack came after the U.S. launched an extensive wave of strikes against Iran, mainly hitting air defenses and radar sites close to the Strait of Hormuz.
The Islamic Republic responded by attacking key American bases in Jordan, Kuwait and Bahrain with ballistic missiles and one-way attack drones.
The United States is clearly planning to escalate further. Following the overnight strikes, Trump hinted that additional attacks are coming. Iran will certainly respond, and it is even possible that the Islamic Republic will consider pre-emptive military action.

no aircraft carriers to sink ? iran, and others, should increase the kill rate on the nazis. you cant exactly say that they understand this, but in the end it will be a shortage of them, as in ukraine.
by december, the world is out of available oil. those countries that can produce it will obviously escape most of the turmoil. blighty has oil but the blighty gov’t thinks is stinky orrible stuff made from dinosaur poo and millions of years of propaganda. they won’t allow our oil companies to drill. how mad is that? probably as mad as thinking that blighty can do with solar and wind only.
do not forget that carbon dioxide, which the plants live from, poison the planet ! or at least mengele musk…that you can call a death cult on steroids. its probably a reason its called mineral oil…
a week is a long time in politics.
the zio-duoply turds of the old dart will do a 180 so quickly that there won’t be enough drill floor hands in amongst the temporary visa holders to man up whatever rigs can be scrounged around. putin’s crowd would probably help there, though.
us navy has been pirating oil from pirated tankers seized when passing the gulf. naturally the entire us government and media complex is conveniently unaware. just a coincidence ?
coincidence is for wishful thinkers.
many strikes on my americunt anuz by superior hebrews derp incel yesterday
that first vid showed the tanker stationary (although not confirmed). wave motion static.
same piss weak, gutless actions displayed by the ‘murikunt dumbf*ck racist psychology on those fishing boats off the venezuelan coast. draft dodging trump is their perfect c-i-c.
but, but just last night we had a deal…finally. right. this dumb as shit mofo has completely any credibility except for with his demented cult. if he said his name was trump, i’d check his birth certificate. i would love to hear the comments from his cabinet when he’s not around. probably be like tucker ‘liar’ carlson when he was off-air being recorded.
you should most certainly check “the jews” genetical origin 😂 white people are fouled into absurdity, by sunday school. in 9/11, by trick movie. in the emmigration to north america, by a picture on a wheat field, publiced by nazis. the demented cult are white people. so far, it dont manage to do anything about its clown 🤡 world.
“when public representatives are pressed on whether they serve “america first” or “israel first,” the near-total inability of elected officials to prioritize their own constituents reveals a profound subversion of democratic governance.” alex krainer. of course, its rothschild first, as his article explains. demons, ruling you by the one ring, the zero. hanging should replace voting, for to get rid of all that wants to decide what others shall do.
between 1778 and 1871, the united states government signed and ratified over 368 treaties with native american nations, and nearly every single one was violated, broken, or amended to take land and resources. the u.s. government shifted to agreements after 1871, with total violations surpassing 500. sonar21. nazis are agreement incapable.
“the deep ideological root of the us foreign policy is hegemony, the conviction that american interests are above those of other nations and there is no equal nation state with the us.” hua’s substack. it was later named nazism, and expanded to nazi germany, as it is now expanded to “israel”.
“ukrainians find an effective way to fend off zelensky’s european values recruiters — shovels” 🥰 telegram. crush the heads on the nazis.
