U.S. CENTCOM forces disabled St. Kitts-flagged cargo vessel in Gulf of Oman after it ignored warnings and tried to breach Iran blockade

US CENTCOM reportedly disabled the St. Kitts-flagged cargo vessel M/V HUDA in the Gulf of Oman on 7 Nov 2026 after it allegedly attempted to breach the US naval blockade of Iranian ports. The UAE National Guard reported 22 people rescued from a burning cargo vessel in the Gulf of Oman on 8 Nov 2026; the vessel's identity is not confirmed as the HUDA, and the IRGC attributes the incident to a naval mine rather than a missile strike.
