Iran seized a Marshall Islands flagged oil tanker as it travelled through the narrow Strait of Hormuz on Friday, a U.S. official said, turning the ship into Iranian territorial waters in the first such interdiction in months in the strategic waterway.
The ship, the Talara, was travelling from Ajman, UAE, onward to Singapore when Iranian forces intercepted it.
