US Forces Board Sanctioned Tanker
The vessel, identified as the M/T Tifani, was previously sanctioned for its ties to Tehran's shipping network.
This operation is the latest move in a U.S.-led blockade intended to squeeze Iran's oil-reliant economy amid the escalating regional conflict.
Dramatic footage released by the Department of War shows commandos boarding the ship overnight.
The Pentagon has warned that international waters will not serve as a refuge for vessels providing support to the Iranian regime.
