Iran state television said Thursday that the regime seized a foreign tanker accused of smuggling oil along with its 12-member crew. The admission comes after an oil tanker based in the United Arab Emirates disappeared earlier this week.


The Revolutionary Guard forces intercepted the ship in the Strait of Hormuz, south of Iran’s Larak Island.


The Panamanian-flagged oil tanker MT Riah stopped transmitting its location overnight on Sunday near Qeshm Island, which has a Revolutionary Guard base on it, according to data listed on tracking site Maritime Traffic.
Iran’s state television did not identify the seized vessel, but said it was intercepted on Sunday. It said the oil tanker had 12 foreign crew members on board and was involved in smuggling some 1 million liters of fuel from Iranian smugglers to foreign customers. (Associated Press) …..snip~
