Iranian Guards halt tanker at Hormuz
The British Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) was able to detect a warning issued by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard to a tanker heading towards the Strait of Hormuz, where they ordered it to return and threatened to target it if it did not comply. The tanker’s captain confirmed that he changed course in accordance with the warning, and an investigation is currently underway into the incident, which occurred 11 nautical miles north of Khasab in Oman. Details regarding the cargo type or whether the ship was subjected to gunfire remain unclear. This incident follows a previous interception involving an oil tanker off the Omani coast. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the most vital oil transit routes in the region and has experienced ongoing tensions between Iran and the United States.
