US fires on ship breaking its Iran blockade
US fires on ship breaking its Iran blockade The US military fired on a Panama-flagged ship that attempted to break the American blockade of Iranian ports on Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal reported citing an official source. The official said a US military helicopter fired at a ship after its crew ignored warnings from American personnel, as Trump said yesterday he was considering waiting for economic pressures to weaken Iran's position. Reuters confirmed that there have been no reports of any casualties so far.
