Iran Seizes Foreign Tanker Over Alleged Fuel Smuggling

Iranian authorities have detained a foreign-flagged tanker in the Gulf, accusing it of carrying more than two million liters of smuggled fuel. The vessel, named Phoenix, was intercepted in Iranian territorial waters by border police in Hormozgan province, local media reported on Monday. Officials confirmed the arrest of 17 foreign crew members but did not disclose the ship’s country of registration.
