As stated by US Central Command on 10 October 2026, US forces disabled cargo vessel M/V Ocean Molica (also called Arika Sun) in the Gulf of Oman after the crew ignored warnings and tried to run a naval blockade; the crew was not harmed. The same release says four commercial vessels were disabled, 135 ships turned around, and 10 tankers destroyed since 14 July. The dot marks the gulf, not a vessel.
