U.S. Forces Board Sanctioned Tanker
The interdiction of the M/T Tifani represents the second such operation in as many days as the U.S. enforces a naval blockade of Iranian ports.
The Pentagon released footage of the operation, stating that international waters are not a refuge for sanctioned vessels providing material support to Tehran.
The seizure comes at a particularly sensitive time, with a two-week ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran set to expire.
U.S. Central Command has warned that enforcement operations will continue globally to disrupt illicit maritime activity linked to the Iranian regime.
