- US interdicts stateless sanctioned tanker sailing from Iran to China
U.S. forces interdicted the stateless sanctioned crude oil tanker M/T Tifani in the Indo-Pacific region, which was transferring Iranian oil to China. The vessel, previously sanctioned for facilitating Iranian oil shipments, had loaded oil at Iran's Kharg Island and was heading to China via the Riau Archipelago. The U.S. also recently seized the Iranian-flagged Touska, another ship involved in illicit Iran-China oil routes.
