U.S. Blocks Empty Tanker Bound for Iran

from Annapolis News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

U.S. forces intercepted an empty oil tanker, the M/T Lexie, en route to Iran’s Kharg Island — a key oil hub — after its crew ignored warnings for a full day. The move underscores a broader U.S. maritime blockade launched April 13th, aimed at pressuring Iran during ongoing nuclear negotiations. Since then, U.S. forces have disabled six ships and rerouted over 100 others, signaling a firm enforcement strategy as talks continue to shape a potential deal.
