Iranian forces seized an oil tanker in nearby waters they said had attempted to disrupt crude exports, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported.Tasnim said on May 8 (local time) that Iran’s naval special forces captured the tanker Ocean Koi, accusing the vessel of trying to obstruct Iran’s oil exports and national interests.MarineTraffic vessel-tracking data show the Barbados-flagged ship, previously listed as Ocean Koi, was renamed Jinri earlier this year and had been operating in the Gulf of Oman until recently.#Iran #OilTanker #GulfOfOman #Hormuz #Seizure Yonhap News TV — For inquiries and tips: KakaoTalk/Line jebo23; Yerin Kim (yey@yna.co.kr)
