A recent incident in the Gulf of Oman involved a Panama-flagged ship attempting to evade a US blockade on Iranian ports. The US military took action against the ship. President Donald Trump has stated that the US has control over the Strait.

This assertion comes as the US military engaged with the ship that tried to bypass the blockade on Tuesday. Further details about the incident and the US military's actions are available from KTXS, the local ABC affiliate in Abilene, Texas.
