United States shoots an oil tanker in Oman for violating the blockade imposed on Iran

The U.S. Army fired on a tanker in the Gulf of Oman on Monday for violating the U.S. blockade of Iran , according to the U.S. Centcom Central Command.

The American fighter F/A-18 Super Hornet of the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln USS has "fired precision ammunition" at a ship flying the Palaoun flag for disobeying orders from the U.S. Navy, according to reports from Centcom.

With this attack, Centcom reports that it has "intercepted" seven shipsthat have failed to comply with the naval blockade imposed by U.S. PresidentDonald Trump on April 13. He also noted that he had commanded 134 ships and 42 "humanitarian aid" had passed.

The situation is very mixed up in the area again. In ChamberI, Iran violated the ceasefire by firing missiles at Israel, which had bombed Lebanon earlier, despite Trump's request not to do so.

Today, however, Trump has said that an agreement with Tehran that would end the war is close, and that "Israel and Iran must stop firing immediately." 

The Basque Government today referred to the damage caused by the closure of Hormuz and announced that it will cost the Basque Country EUR 200 million.
