(Worthy News) – The U.S. Navy on Wednesday said it stopped Iran from seizing two commercial tankers in the Gulf of Oman following a series of attacks and seizures on vessels in the region since 2019.
The first seizure attempt occurred around 1 a.m. local time on a Marshall Islands-flagged oil tanker TRF Moss but ended after U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer USS McFaul arrived on the scene, U.S. Naval Forces Central Command (NAVCENT) said in a statement.
The U.S. Navy also deployed “surveillance assets” like the MQ-9 Reaper drone and a P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft. [ Source: Fox News (Read More…) ]
