10月10日 - 美国军方周六表示，在该船船员忽视警告并试图突围伊朗海军封锁后，其在阿曼湾使一艘商用货船失去动力。"美国中央司令部在CENTCOM发布的一则声明中称，一架美国军方战斗机使用精确制导弹药击中了巴拿马籍货轮M/V Ocean Molica（亦称"Arika Sun"）的船尾，使该船推进系统完全失效，但未对船员造成伤害。" 声明还称该货船在离开伊朗港口后试图驶入该地区水域。路透社暂时无法联系到该散货船的运营商以获取评论。
Oct 10 - The US military said on Saturday it had disabled a commercial cargo vessel in the Gulf of Oman after the ship's crew ignored warnings and attempted to run a naval blockade against Iran. "A U.S. military fighter jet struck the stern of Panama-flagged M/V Ocean Molica (also known as the “Arika Sun”) with a precision munition, fully disabling the ship’s propulsion without harming the crew," the US Central Command posted on CENTCOM said the cargo vessel had attempted to transit regional waters after leaving an Iranian port. Reuters was not immediately able to reach the bulk carrier's operator for comment.
美国中央司令部警告阿曼湾及霍尔木兹海峡入口的船员注意封锁警告，监听航行通告广播，并与美国海军力量保持联系。
CENTCOM warned mariners in the Gulf of Oman and the approaches to the Strait of Hormuz to heed blockade warnings, monitor notice-to-mariners broadcasts and contact US naval forces.
在油轮袭击事件达到上周以来最高水平后，通过该 vital Strait（霍尔木兹海峡）的船舶数量降至两个月以上的最低水平，此前美以在2月对伊朗发动战争，引发人们对航运中断的担忧并支撑了原油价格。战争之前，霍尔木兹海峡承载着全球20%的石油消费量。
The number of vessels transiting the vital strait fell to the lowest in more than two months after attacks on tankers reached their highest level last week since the US and Israel launched the war on Iran in February, raising concerns over shipping disruptions and supporting crude prices. Before the war, the Strait of Hormuz carried 20% of the world's oil consumption.
