US boards Iran-linked tanker in Indian Ocean amid widening maritime tit-for-tat
TL;DR
U.S. forces boarded the sanctioned stateless tanker Majestic X in the Indian Ocean, continuing a tit-for-tat series of maritime interdictions with Iran after Tehran seized two ships in the Strait of Hormuz; the Pentagon had previously interdicted the M/T Tifani, and Philippine officials say 15 Filipino seafarers aboard Iran-held vessels are safe, as Iran refuses to reopen the strait and tensions persist.
