  "summary": "US Central Command (Centcom) has announced that a US military aircraft fired on and disabled a cargo vessel attempting to break the US naval blockade of Iran in the Gulf of Oman. The St Kitts and Nevis-flagged vessel, which had recently visited an Iranian port, was ordered to clear targeted areas of the ship by US forces after it attempted to leave regional waters. The precision munitions fired by the US aircraft successfully disabled the cargo vessel. Additionally, Centcom revealed that they have launched a task force aimed at cracking down on Iran's movement of advanced weapons and sanctioned materials across its land borders and through the Caspian Sea, further expanding on their ongoing naval blockade. According to Centcom, the blockade has prevented Iran from exporting over $25 billion worth of crude oil.",
