Iran’s IRGC seizes foreign-crewed oil tanker in Gulf

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Wednesday seized an oil tanker in the Gulf carrying more than a dozen foreign crew members, state media reported.

The vessel “was carrying 4 million liters of smuggled fuel with 16 non-Iranian crew members on board,” state television quoted navy commander General Abbas Gholamshahi as saying.

IRGC forces “boarded the ship ... as it was leaving Iranian territorial waters,” he added.

 It was not immediately clear which flag the ship was flying.
