"Iran's Navy Seizes Oil Tanker in Gulf of Oman Amid US Dispute"

Iran's navy seized an oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman, previously involved in a dispute with the U.S. over seized Iranian oil, escalating tensions in the region. The seizure follows attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels on shipping in the Red Sea, prompting warnings of potential retaliatory strikes by U.S.-led forces. The vessel, previously known as the Suez Rajan, was captured by armed men in the waters between Oman and Iran, with Iran's state-run television linking it to the earlier oil seizure. The U.K. military's Maritime Trade Operations described the seizure as occurring in a vital waterway for oil trade. The incident adds to ongoing tensions in the region, including ship seizures and attacks attributed to Iran and the Houthis.
