U.S. forces have boarded the oil tanker M/T Tifani in the Bay of Bengal on suspicion of smuggling Iranian crude, the Pentagon said Tuesday. Described by U.S. officials as a “right-of-visit maritime interdiction,” the operation occurred without incident and is part of broader efforts to disrupt shipments tied to Iran, including oil, metals, electronics, and weapons. A U.S. defense official said the vessel, previously sanctioned, was carrying Iranian oil and that authorities will decide within four days whether to tow it to the United States or transfer custody to another country. The tanker is Botswana-flagged but was labeled “stateless” by the Pentagon.
