CENTCOM has announced in a statement that U.S. forces in the Sea of Oman "as part of enforcing the blockade," disabled an empty oil tanker flying the Iranian flag that was heading towards one of Iran's ports. CENTCOM stated that prior to this action, several warnings were issued to the tanker, but the crew did not comply with the orders. It further mentioned that U.S. forces disabled the tanker’s rudder by firing several rounds from the 20mm cannon of an F/A-18 Super Hornet.

I think Trump set a law that there shouldn't be more spending on maritime blockade beyond a certain limit. The previous tanker was stopped with a destroyer's cannon, and this one was hit on its rudder with an F-18 machine gun.
