US Forces Intercept Two Tankers Bound for China in Strait of Hormuz Blockade
US naval vessels enforcing the Strait of Hormuz blockade have turned away two tankers trying to sail to China under false flags. Both ships were intercepted before they could exit the Gulf. Iran is reportedly losing around $400 million in oil revenue every day due to the blockade. Iranian officials have condemned the US action as a serious provocation. This incident follows the downing of an Iranian surveillance drone after it approached too close to a US destroyer. Tensions in the region continue to rise.
