An oil tanker believed to be carrying Iranian crude has offloaded near Texas, increasing U.S.-Iran tensions and leading Iran to threaten retaliation.
An oil tanker that is suspected of carrying Iranian oil has begun to offload oil near Texas, a development that is sure to lead to an escalation in tensions between the U.S. and Iran.
The tanker’s arrival in Texas was likely the result of a deal between the Biden Administration and the owners and operators of the vessel., adding the cargo was offloaded on another tanker.seizedIran claimed that the tanker collided with an unidentified Iranian vessel just hours prior to its seizure, with several crew members reportedly falling overboard while others were left injured. The tanker then fled the scene and ignored radio calls for eight hours before a court ordered its seizure.
The Suez Rajan was never officially seized by American forces, the AP recalls. The tanker sat for months off the coast of Singapore after an activist group sounded an alarm that it was carrying Iranian crude, and then it suddenly set off for the U.S. Gulf Coast. Two tanker seizures from Iranian forces followed in the Persian Gulf.
