US considers seizing tankers carrying Iranian oil - WSJ
The Trump administration is weighing the seizure of foreign tankers transporting Iranian oil to ramp up economic pressure on Tehran, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.
Officials are discussing using US Navy or Coast Guard forces to intercept and confiscate vessels in international waters. The move would target ships often using ship-to-ship transfers and false documents to disguise Iranian crude.
The proposal, still under debate in the National Security Council and State Department, would escalate beyond current secondary sanctions on buyers and shipowners.
