US Forces Board Sanctioned Tanker
In a significant escalation of the naval blockade against Tehran, the Pentagon released footage showing special forces boarding a 'stateless sanctioned' vessel.
The Department of War stated that international waters are not a refuge for illicit actors and vowed to deny sanctioned vessels freedom of maneuver.
This seizure follows the boarding of another Iranian cargo ship near the Strait of Hormuz earlier this week.
Iran has condemned the actions as 'armed piracy' and warned of a decisive response if its commercial interests continue to be targeted.
