Iran says it seizes foreign oil tanker in Gulf of Oman
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has seized the Barbados-flagged oil tanker Ocean Koi in the Gulf of Oman, accusing it of violating Iranian national interests. State media aired footage of commandos boarding the vessel. The seizure signals a strategic shift, with Iran introducing new maritime rules requiring all ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz to pre-register and pay fees.
