U.S. Military: Tampa, Florida – U.S. forces enforced a maritime blockade against Iran on July 15 by disabling an empty oil tanker attempting to sail toward an Iranian port in the Persian Gulf. U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces observed the Curaçao-flagged M/T Belma transiting international waters toward Kharg Island. The merchant vessel ignored multiple warnings as it attempted to violate the U.S. blockade. A U.S. aircraft disabled the vessel after firing Hellfire missiles at the ship's funnel. The vessel is no longer en route to Iran. U.S. forces resumed the maritime blockade against vessels transiting to or from Iranian ports and coastal areas at 4 p.m. ET on July 14. During the first 24 hours of enforcement, CENTCOM redirected two compliant merchant vessels and disabled one non-compliant vessel. U.S. forces remain vigilant and prepared to ensure full compliance.

The Kuwaiti Army: Since this evening, the armed forces have detected 1 ballistic missile, 5 cruise missiles, and 33 drones, all of which were intercepted and dealt with. The heinous Iranian aggression targeted several vital and civilian facilities, with debris falling in various locations across the country, causing material damage. A Kuwaiti naval vessel was also targeted, resulting in injuries to 4 members of the armed forces. They received the necessary medical care and treatment, and their condition is stable.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) addresses the brave and steadfast Iranian people: In the third phase of Operation "Victory 2," under the banner of "Ya Zayn al-Abidin" (peace be upon him), and in honor of the nation, the IRGC Aerospace Force destroyed several weapons depots, ship parts, and aircraft at the Sheikh Isa base in Bahrain in a simultaneous missile and drone strike hours ago. They also attacked the MQ-9 drone launch platform at the Ali al-Salem base in Kuwait, destroying or damaging several aircraft. The retaliation and punishment of aggressors will continue as long as America's crimes persist, and if these attacks are repeated, they will face unexpected responses. As long as America's evil deeds in the region continue, not a single drop of oil or gas will be exported from the region, and these transgressions will only delay the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) prohibits aircraft operators from operating within the airspace of Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, or the airspace over the waters of the Gulf of Oman.
