The #US #military fired on an Iranian #oil tanker Wednesday as #Trump seeks to pressure #Iran into accepting a deal to end the #war.

A fighter jet shot out the rudder of the tanker in the Gulf of Oman as it tried to breach the US #blockade of Iran’s ports, #CENTCOM posted.

The attack occurred as Iran & the US are supposedly in a ceasefire. Trump threatened Tehran with a new wave of bombing if a deal is not reached that includes opening the critical #StraitOfHormuz.

Trump threatens Iran with bombing if it doesn’t reopen strait

U.S. President Donald Trump is threatening Iran with more bombing if it doesn’t reopen the Strait of Hormuz after a report that an agreement is emerging to end war. Trump posted on social media Wednesday that the war with Iran could soon end and oil and natural gas shipments could restart. But that all depends on Iran accepting a reported agreement that the U.S. president did not detail. Trump wrote: “If they don’t agree, the bombing starts.”

@dalfen could be. My theory is that #trump backed off due to #iran attacks. #centcom didn't issue a statement at first, then stated that US navy ships came under sustained attack from Iran, that war ships had to respond and shut down 6 (or 7 acc. to trump) speed boats while deploying defense systems, attack aircrafts...etc to fend it off. I believe the situation was much bigger than reported that caused trump to realize that his "project freedump" not gonna fly

Adm. Brad Cooper, commander of #US #CENTCOM, told reporters on Monday that the #US “blew up” 6 Iranian small boats in the Strait.

Cooper said he would not “go into details of whether the ceasefire is over or not,” & that the US was responding “specifically with the president’s direction.”

#Hegseth insisted Tuesday that the “ceasefire is not over” even though both sides have exchanged fire in the #StraitOfHormuz.

Heavy US refueling aircraft activity over CENTCOM
This evening, a significant increase in activity by heavy US refueling aircraft was recorded over the CENTCOM area of responsibility. The surge in aerial tanker operations indicates heightened logistical support for American forces in the region. Such intense refueling activity often precedes or accompanies large-scale military operations. The monitoring was conducted using open-source data. No official statements from the Pentagon have been released yet.

The #US #military has destroyed 6 Iranian small boats & intercepted Iranian cruise missiles & drones fired by Tehran, US Admiral Brad Cooper, the head of #CENTCOM.

Cooper said he "strongly advised" Iranian forces to remain clear of US military assets as it launches an operation to free up shipping through the #StraitOfHormuz.

He said a US #blockade of #Iran, which prevents ships from going to Iran or departing Iranian territory, also remains in effect & was exceeding expectations.
