The United States has seized an oil tanker named 'Majestic X' in the Indian Ocean, which is linked to Iranian oil smuggling activities. This operation came just a day after the Islamic Revolutionary Guards attacked three ships in the strategically important Strait of Hormuz. The US Defence Department shared footage showing its forces on the deck of the seized tanker. The Pentagon stated, "We will continue global maritime enforcement to disrupt illicit networks and interdict vessels providing material support to Iran, wherever they operate." This seizure highlights the ongoing tensions in the region and the US's commitment to countering Iran's maritime activities.
