U.S. Naval Forces Block Oil Tanker Bound for Iran

(MENAFN) A United States naval vessel intercepted and stopped a crude oil tanker from heading toward an Iranian harbor over the weekend, according to a statement released Monday by United States Central Command. This action marks another enforcement measure within the framework of the ongoing maritime blockade.

"Guided-missile destroyer USS Rafael Peralta (DDG 115) enforces the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports against M/T Stream after it attempted to sail to an Iranian port," CENTCOM said on US social media platform X.

The command reported that the occurrence took place on Sunday, though it did not disclose additional specifics such as the exact location or the method used to determine that the M/T Stream was en route to Iran. According to information available on the Marine Tracker website, the ship in question is classified as a crude oil tanker.
