A US military aircraft warned the crew of an Iranian tanker to leave the engine room within 10 minutes before the vessel was struck for "failing to comply with the military blockade" of Iran's ports and coasts, an audio recording obtained exclusively by Iran International reveals. US forces struck five tankers linked to the IRGC, according to reports — the Charminar, Kaviz, Horizon 1, Riesco and Derya.

Video obtained by Iran International, filmed aboard a nearby vessel, captures the US military's radio warnings to the Iranian oil tanker STARK 1 before it was struck near Kharg Island.
Three warnings are audible over the VHF channel. In the first, a US military aircraft tells the tanker: "Motor Tanker STARK 1, this is the United States military aircraft. I am preparing to fire at your stern. You have 3 minutes to clear the crew from the stern of your ship. Over."
The second cuts that to one minute. The third is final: "This was your final warning... get into your lifeboats and abandon the ship immediately."
Between the warnings, crew members can be heard talking in Persian and Urdu. One asks whether the captain and his deputy are at their posts. He is told the captain is still asleep.
Iranian media reported on Saturday morning that a tanker had been hit by US forces six miles off Kharg Island, without naming the vessel. STARK 1 was carrying Iranian oil and was first sanctioned by Washington in 2018.
A shot of this evening's SpaceX launch. Too bright for a jellyfish, but it did allow the first-stage contrail to cast a shadow up into the sky.

Passengers on a commercial flight captured the launch of Artemis II on camera
The plane happened to pass near the launch trajectory at the exact moment of liftoff, giving passengers a rare view of the rocket launch right from their windows.
Chief 82 and Titan 51 on SATCOM calling Red River. These comms were from B-52's logged a few days ago on 263.925 MHz.
Farsi number station broadcast on 7910 kilohertz USB. This evening it broadcast from 1800 to 1817 UTC. 10 minute audio of broadcast. Likely CIA or Mossad number station broadcasting to assets as part of regime change?

Sounded like some U.S. Army helos on SATCOM today with Clover 2 attempting comms with 16 Romeo and Champ 88. I also logged Steel 85 and Dust Off with radio checks.
Activity on CONR-2 satcom net today from "Tennessee" calling "Thundercat" for multiple radio checks. Also daily testing from "Bone Maintenance" have been a common theme here for the past few weeks.

USAF F-16s SURF31 & 32 scrambled from March ARB, CA, early this morning (Pacific Time) to identify and intercept an “unidentified object” heading northeast in the upper flight levels over Northern California. A civilian cargo aircraft was able to visually confirm the object “glowing and dimming” before the F-16s arrived on station.
USAF KC-135R GASMN03 provided tanker support.

If you are located within any of the white horizon rings tonight, make sure to be looking out for this very visible rocket launch!
Rocket should be visible in your area pending your lighting conditions and depending on what time the rocket launches.

Super Bowl mass private jet exodus, most will probably be back next year. 💅

Interesting voice comms on 263.925 with Sombra and Águila (likely Colombian military units) informing they were 500 meters from objective. Gave coordinates located near Puerto Salgar in the Cundinamarca department of Colombia before switching over to an encrypted satcom channel.

ADSB shenanigans. Air Force One was spoofed as VANCE 1 and drew the JD Vance meme picture over Mar-a-Lago in Florida this evening taking roughly 2 hours to draw. The tracks are color coded by altitude and was created by having VANCE 1 fly at altitudes between 20,000 - 50,000 ft.
