US destroyer turns back two oil tankers leaving Iran - Reuters
A US Navy destroyer intercepted two oil tankers attempting to leave Iran on Tuesday and ordered them to turn back, Reuters reported, citing two US officials.
The vessels departed Chabahar port in the Gulf of Oman and were contacted by the warship via radio communication, the officials said.
The officials said the tankers were among six merchant vessels that US Central Command said had been instructed to return toward Iranian ports after entering the Gulf of Oman.
