Al-Monitor: Iran's IRGC seizes second oil tanker in Gulf waters in six days, says US Navy
The incident happened off UAE coast of Fujairah and involved a Panama-flagged Niovi vessel.
Iran seized an oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, the US Navy said, in the second such capture in less than a week.
The US Navy's Fifth Fleet, based in Bahrain, said in a statement that naval forces of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) attacked the Panama-flagged Niovi vessel while transiting toward Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates.
The vessel was subsequently forced to reverse course into Iranian territorial waters in what the Fifth Fleet described as an “unlawful seizure.”
