The naval forces of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) have thwarted an attempt by the United States to capture Iranian oil on a tanker in the strategic Sea of Oman.
The US military confiscated an Iranian tanker loaded with crude oil in the Sea of Oman, which connects the Arabian Sea with the Strait of Hormuz, unloaded its shipment to another tanker and directed it to an unknown destination.
Reacting promptly, however, members of the IRGC’s Navy carried out a heliborne operation on the deck of the tanker with the stolen cargo, gained control of the vessel, and directed it toward Iran’s territorial waters.
