Iran Seizes US-Linked Oil Tanker in Gulf of Oman

Iran's navy seized an oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman that was previously involved in a dispute with the United States over Iranian oil. The seizure comes amid escalating tensions in the region, including attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels on shipping in the Red Sea. The vessel, previously known as the Suez Rajan, was captured by armed men, with Iran's navy claiming it was a lawful undertaking sanctioned by a court order. The incident adds to the ongoing confrontations between Iran and the U.S. in the region, with previous ship seizures and attacks attributed to both sides.
