While CENTCOM claims an F/A-18 Super Hornet disabled the tanker HASNA with cannon fire after it refused to stop, at least two other vessels appear to have made it through. With a combined capacity for 5 million barrels of oil, these "blockade runners" are proving that Tehran is learning how to outmaneuver American carrier strike groups.
