The U.S. Navy said it thwarted the seizure of two commercial tankers by Iranian forces in the Gulf of Oman on Wednesday, July 5. U.S. officials said the first incident occurred when an Iranian naval vessel came near a Marshall Islands-flagged oil tanker named the TRF Moss. The Iranian vessel retreated when “a US Navy guided-missile destroyer USS McFaul (DDG 74) arrived on station,” the Navy said in a press release. Credit: US Navy via Storyful
