5月10日,美国海岸警卫队的一艘快速反应快艇在本周第二次缉毒行动中,从一艘途经阿曼湾的渔船上缴获了价值8000万美元的海洛因。
USCGC Glen Harris (WPC 1144)当时正在支援联合特遣部队(CTF) 150,当时一个登船小组在一艘离开伊朗查巴哈尔(Chah Bahar)经过国际水域的船只上发现了1964公斤海洛因。
格伦·哈里斯两天前还从同一港口出发的另一艘渔船上查获了价值三千万美元的冰毒和海洛因。
格伦·哈里斯的指挥官尼克·贾布斯中校说:“我为我的队员们感到非常自豪,也为我们这个团队本周所取得的成就感到骄傲。”
“我们在这里与地区伙伴合作,破坏海上任何破坏稳定的海上活动。我们会继续追查。”
格伦·哈里斯此前于5月8日缉获的毒品包括580公斤冰毒和35公斤海洛因。
这艘船去年抵达中东,是美国海岸警卫队(U.S.Coast Guard)一支特遣队的一部分,这支特遣队是在西南亚巡逻队(Patrol Forces Southwest Asia)的指挥下向该地区部署的。
CTF 150是组成世界上最大的多国海军合作伙伴——海上联合部队的四个特遣部队之一。
据估计,到2023年,支持CTF 150的海军部队目前已查获的非法毒品,其总价值超过2.5亿美元。
这些努力有助于确保该地区的合法商业航运不受非国家威胁。

A U.S. Coast Guard fast response cutter seized $80 million worth of *** from a fishing vessel transiting the Gulf of Oman, on May 10, during the ship’s second drug bust this week.
USCGC Glen Harris (WPC 1144) was operating in support of Combined Task Force (CTF) 150 when a boarding team discovered 1,964 kilograms of *** on a vessel transiting international waters after departing Chah Bahar, Iran. Glen Harris also seized $30 million worth of methamphetamine and *** two days ago from another fishing vessel that departed the same port.
“I’m very proud of my crew and all we’ve been able to accomplish as a team this week,” said Lt. Nick Jabs, Glen Harris’s commanding officer. “We’re out here to work with regional partners and disrupt any destabilizing maritime activity at sea. We will continue getting after it.”
Glen Harris’s previous seizure on May 8 included 580 kilograms of methamphetamine and 35 kilograms of ***.
The ship arrived in the Middle East last year as part of a contingent of U.S. Coast Guard cutters that are forward-deployed to the region under Patrol Forces Southwest Asia.
CTF 150 is one of four task forces that form the world’s largest multinational naval partnership, Combined Maritime Forces. Naval forces supporting CTF 150 have now seized illegal drugs worth a combined estimated U.S. street value of more than $250 million in 2023. These efforts help ensure legitimate commercial shipping transits the region free from non-state threats.
