According to TankerTrackers, the merchant vessel identified by U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) as the Mozambique-flagged M/T Lavine is the same ship operating under the name M/T Disha (IMO 8818219). CENTCOM says the vessel repeatedly attempted to breach the U.S. naval blockade of Iran, ignored multiple warnings, and was ultimately disabled after U.S. forces fired into its engine room on July 24th. TankerTrackers reports it first observed the vessel entering the U.S. blockade perimeter on July 23. The organization notes the tanker has been under U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctions for the past two years and alleges it previously transported Iranian liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to the Houthis in Yemen. The Forward Seamen's Union of India (FSUI) says the vessel was carrying 28 Indian seafarers, all of whom survived the incident. The union alleges the strike targeted the vessel's accommodation area. However, video shared by the organization appears to show flames emanating from a hatch at the base of the smokestack, directly above the engine room, which is broadly consistent with CENTCOM's statement that U.S. forces disabled the vessel by firing into its engine room. The footage alone does not conclusively establish the exact point of impact. Source:
