"Shipping Industry Warned: Avoid Iran to Prevent Seizure Risks"

The US Navy is warning commercial ships to stay far away from Iranian territorial waters amid fears of potential seizures. Iran has already seized two oil tankers this year, claiming it was due to regulatory and safety issues. Attacks on ships in the region have increased since the US withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal. The Biden administration has deployed more military assets in the region and is considering placing US soldiers on certain commercial vessels to deter Iran. However, critics argue that this move could escalate tensions.
