The footage, published on Wednesday, allegedly shows an Iranian vessel approaching a Marshall Islands-flagged tanker, as well as bright spots which the Navy says are caused by Iranian forces firing on the ships.Show more

An accompanying statement from the Navy read, ‘On July 5, US forces prevented two attempted commercial tanker seizures by the Iranian Navy after the Iranians had opened fire in one of the incidents near the coast of Oman. Both of these incidents occurred in international waters.’ Tehran, meanwhile, has denied any attempt to seize the tankers.
