The move marks another step in enforcing sanctions against Tehran and disrupting alleged Revolutionary Guards shipping operations.
The US has stopped the oil tanker “Veronica 3” in the Indian Ocean, amid reports the vessel was linked to a secret shipping network attributed to Iran’s Revolutionary Guards. The interception is seen as part of Washington’s ongoing effort to tighten enforcement of sanctions targeting Iran’s oil exports.
Officials say the action reflects a broader strategy to track and disrupt vessels suspected of helping Tehran bypass international restrictions.
The step signals continued US pressure on Iran’s maritime operations, particularly those believed to fund or support activities linked to the Revolutionary Guards.
