Iran intercepts UAE oil tanker in Hormuz
Iran detained a tanker belonging to a UAE company near Kish Island while it was crossing the Strait of Hormuz, claiming the vessel did not coordinate with them and did not adhere to Iranian safety requirements, such as using designated routes and obtaining prior permits. This comes amid escalating tensions between Iran and Arab countries, including the UAE, amid concerns over disruptions to maritime traffic and global energy supplies, especially following an attack on a UAE ship a few days ago. Iranian officials reaffirmed that the Strait of Hormuz is part of Iranian sovereignty and stated that any aggressive attempt to violate it will be met with a strong response.
