Iran seizes oil tanker in Gulf of Oman

Iran has seized an oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman. The vessel has been ordered to return to an Iranian Port. State media in Iran claims the seizure is a retaliation against the US. In April 2023, the ship and its oil were confiscated by the US as part of sanctions against the Iranian regime. Armed men wearing masks boarded the vessel after it departed a port in Iraq.
