US military boards, releases Iran-flagged oil tanker in Gulf of Oman
The U.S. military boarded Iranian-flagged commercial oil tanker M/T Celestial Sea in the Gulf of Oman on Wednesday after suspecting it had violated a U.S. blockade, U.S. Central Command said in a statement.
U.S. forces released the ship, which was headed toward an Iranian port, after searching it and directing its crew to alter course, the statement said.
