US forces board Iranian oil tanker Tifani in the Indian Ocean amid ongoing sanctions enforcement
US forces boarded the sanctioned tanker M/T Tifani overnight in the Indo-Pacific region, the Pentagon announced Tuesday. The vessel is accused of smuggling Iranian crude oil and was reportedly carrying approximately 2 million barrels loaded from Iran's Kharg Island. The operation occurred as a US-Iran ceasefire neared expiration and Reuters reported a broader operation intercepting three Iranian tankers in Asian waters.
