US Poised to Board Iran-Linked Vessels in International Waters
WSJ reports the United States plans to board and seize Iran-linked oil tankers and other ships in international waters in the coming days as part of a broader Trump-era campaign called Economic Fury, with Indo-Pacific Command involvement and comments from Gen. Dan Caine about targeting Iranian-flagged vessels and dark‑fleet ships. The move comes amid Iran’s claims of tighter control over the Strait of Hormuz after recent attacks, while the US has turned back 23 ships; Iran’s leaders have threatened further pressure, complicating tensions in the region.
