US-Iran war: US military forces board sanctioned oil tanker in Indian Ocean, Pentagon says
American forces have seized an oil tanker in international waters. The vessel, the M/T Tifani, was previously sanctioned for smuggling Iranian oil. This action is part of a broader US effort to disrupt illicit networks supporting Iran. The boarding occurred without incident. This move comes as a ceasefire between the US and Iran is set to expire.
