 Serena Williams' husband addresses critics over White House UFC event Alexis Ohanian, husband of tennis star Serena Williams, faced backlash after attending President Trump’s 80th birthday celebration at the White House, which doubled as a UFC event staged by Dana White’s TKO group. The spectacle drew criticism when fighter Josh Hokit used his post-fight interview to make a vile slur about former First Lady Michelle Obama.  Ohanian, who co-founded Reddit and now owns several sports teams, stayed silent for days before finally condemning the remark on social media, insisting he had already left the event when it was made.

U.S MILITARY DISABLES OIL TANKER IN GULF OF OMAN FOR ALLEGEDLY VIOLATING IRAN BLOCKADE, CENTRAL COMMAND SAYS. (PHOTO).

U.S military disables oil tanker in Gulf of Oman for allegedly violating Iran blockade, Central Command says

The U.S. military disabled an oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman after it allegedly violated an ongoing naval blockade on Iran by attempting to sail toward an Iranian port, according to military officials.

The Palau-flagged M/T Marivex was reportedly traveling without cargo when it was operating in international waters in the Gulf of Oman. U.S. forces said the vessel’s crew failed to respond to instructions issued in the region.

In response, a U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet launched from the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln struck the tanker’s engineering and steering compartments with a precision munition, rendering the ship unable to continue its voyage. Officials said the vessel is no longer capable of proceeding toward Iran.

The operation is part of a broader maritime blockade launched April 13 targeting vessels suspected of attempting to reach Iranian ports in violation of U.S. directives. Military officials said seven non-compliant ships have been disabled so far under the operation.

At the same time, more than 100 vessels have reportedly complied with instructions and been redirected, while dozens of ships carrying humanitarian supplies have been allowed to pass through the area without interference.
