Iran: Tankers Prevented from Passing Through Strait of Hormuz

Iranian armed forces prevented two tankers from crossing the Strait of Hormuz, according to the Tasnim news agency. The tankers, flying the flags of Botswana and Angola, were forced to change course after warnings.

According to Tasnim, this action is a result of the ongoing American maritime blockade of Iran. The tankers reportedly attempted an 'unauthorized passage' through the strategic waterway.
