Watch: U.S. forces board commercial tanker amid Iran blockade | News

The US has released new footage of forces boarding a commercial tanker in Iran as the blockade continues.

The US military said it boarded a tanker in the Arabian Sea on Saturday (July 25) as part of its naval blockade of Iranian ports, according to reports.

The US Central Command (Centcom) said US forces have so far redirected 12 commercial vessels attempting to bypass the blockade, disabled two vessels that failed to comply, and boarded two ships for verification.

A Centcom spokesman said: “American forces remain highly vigilant, focused, lethal, and ready.”
