Efforts to repatriate the crew are ongoing.\n\n\n\nThe military did not identify the dhow, disclose how it was destroyed or provide details about the alleged surveillance activities.\n\n\n\n\u201cOn Oct. 6, U.S. forces destroyed an Iranian-affiliated dhow conducting surveillance and targeting U.S. Navy ships in the Gulf of Oman,\u201d CENTCOM said in its latest statement.\n\n\n\nThe announcement comes amid reports that Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has increasingly turned to small boats to identify potential targets following damage to its coastal surveillance infrastructure.\n\n\n\nAccording to Reuters reporting Wednesday, Iranian forces have been using unarmed spotters aboard small vessels to help identify commercial ships for attacks as Tehran steps up efforts to restrict shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.\n\n\n\nThe disclosure also follows a separate U.S. military strike on October 10 against the Panama-flagged cargo vessel Ocean Molica, also known as Arika Sun, in the Gulf of Oman. CENTCOM said a U.S. fighter jet disabled the vessel\u2019s propulsion after its crew ignored repeated warnings while attempting to violate the American naval blockade against Iran.\n\n\n\nThe October 10 operation brought the number of commercial vessels disabled during the renewed blockade to four, according to CENTCOM. The command also reported that 135 ships had been turned around and 10 tankers linked to the IRGC had been destroyed since enforcement resumed July 14.\n\n\n\nThe latest disclosure comes as attacks on merchant shipping have accelerated across the region. Two cargo ships, the Singapore-flagged containership GFS Pride and the Antigua and Barbuda-flagged bulk carrier Cape Dao, were confirmed sunk near the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday following separate projectile attacks.\n\n\n\nIn its statement, CENTCOM accused the IRGC of continuing to indiscriminately target civilian mariners and U.S. Navy warships throughout the seven-month conflict.\n\n\n\nThe destruction of the dhow adds to a growing series of U.S. military actions against vessels in the Gulf of Oman, where American forces are enforcing the blockade while Iranian attacks continue to threaten commercial shipping through the nearby Strait of Hormuz.\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t \n\n\n\t\tSubscribe for Daily Maritime Insights\n\t\tSign up for gCaptain\u2019s newsletter and never miss an update\n \u2014 trusted by our 106,746 members" ], "output": "readability", "pwd": "/data/archive/1792015665.848091", "schema": "ArchiveResult", "start_ts": "2026-10-15T01:32:30.403887+00:00", "status": "succeeded" } ], "screenshot": [], "singlefile": [], "title": [ { "cmd": [ "curl", "--silent", "--location", "--compressed", "--max-time", "120", "--user-agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/118.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 ArchiveBox/0.7.4 (+https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/) curl/curl 8.14.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)", "https://gcaptain.com/u-s-forces-destroy-iranian-linked-dhow-accused-of-targeting-navy-ships/" ], "cmd_version": "curl 8.14.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)", "end_ts": "2026-10-15T01:32:30.396737+00:00", "index_texts": null, "output": "U.S. Forces Destroy Iranian-Linked Dhow Accused of Targeting Navy Ships", "pwd": "/data/archive/1792015665.848091", "schema": "ArchiveResult", "start_ts": "2026-10-15T01:32:30.360336+00:00", "status": "succeeded" } ], "wget": [ { "cmd": [ "wget", "--no-verbose", "--adjust-extension", "--convert-links", "--force-directories", "--span-hosts", "--no-parent", "-e", "robots=off", "--reject=js,mjs,woff,woff2,ttf,otf,eot,mp4,m4v,mov,webm,ogv,mkv,avi,flv", "--timeout=120", "--restrict-file-names=windows", "--page-requisites", "--user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/118.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 ArchiveBox/0.7.4 (+https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/) wget/GNU Wget 1.21.3", "--compression=auto", "--timestamping", "https://gcaptain.com/u-s-forces-destroy-iranian-linked-dhow-accused-of-targeting-navy-ships/" ], "cmd_version": "GNU Wget 1.21.3", "end_ts": "2026-10-15T01:32:30.351734+00:00", "index_texts": null, "output": "gcaptain.com/u-s-forces-destroy-iranian-linked-dhow-accused-of-targeting-navy-ships/index.html", "pwd": "/data/archive/1792015665.848091", "schema": "ArchiveResult", "start_ts": "2026-10-15T01:32:19.299815+00:00", "status": "succeeded" } ] }, "icons": null, "is_archived": true, "is_static": false, "latest": { "archive_org": null, "dom": null, "favicon": "favicon.ico", "git": null, "media": null, "pdf": null, "screenshot": null, "singlefile": null, "title": "U.S. Forces Destroy Iranian-Linked Dhow Accused of Targeting Navy Ships", "warc": null, "wget": "gcaptain.com/u-s-forces-destroy-iranian-linked-dhow-accused-of-targeting-navy-ships/index.html" }, "link_dir": "/data/archive/1792015665.848091", "newest_archive_date": "2026-10-15T01:32:32.210763+00:00", "num_failures": 0, "num_outputs": 6, "oldest_archive_date": "2026-10-15T01:32:18.460107+00:00", "path": "/u-s-forces-destroy-iranian-linked-dhow-accused-of-targeting-navy-ships/", "schema": "Link", "scheme": "https", "snapshot_id": "9512f217-dc45-4811-a406-00a0a363bcfa", "sources": [ "/data/sources/1792015665-import.txt" ], "tags": ",escalation,war-wiki,pool", "tags_str": "escalation,war-wiki,pool", "timestamp": "1792015665.848091", "title": "U.S. Forces Destroy Iranian-Linked Dhow Accused of Targeting Navy Ships", "updated": "2026-10-15T01:32:18.459867+00:00", "updated_date": "2026-10-15 01:32", "url": "https://gcaptain.com/u-s-forces-destroy-iranian-linked-dhow-accused-of-targeting-navy-ships/" }
