 A move from Iran that will lead to war at sea. US Navy has stopped the seizure of two commercial tanks. The US Navy said it stopped Iran from seizing two commercial tankers in the Gulf of Oman according to Fox News. The Iranian military fired several times at one of the oil tankers near the coast of Oman. The first seizure attempt occurred on a Marshall Islands flagged oil tanker TRF Moss but ended after US Navy guided missile destroyer USS McFall arrived on the scene. US Naval Forces Central Command, NavSent, said in a statement. The US Navy also deployed surveillance assets like the MQ-9 Reaper drone and a P-8 Poseidon Maritime Patrol aircraft. Though several rounds reportedly hit the ship's hull near crew living spaces, the ship sustained no significant damage and there were no casualties. The Iranian vessel again fled the scene after the USS McFall arrived in the area just off the coast of Oman. I couldn't be prouder of the entire US Naval Forces Central Command team, especially the exceptional effort by the McFall crew for immediately responding and preventing another seizure. Vice Admiral Brad Cooper, Commander of US Naval Forces Central Command, US Fifth Fleet and Combined Maritime Forces said, we remain vigilant and ready to protect navigational rights in these critical waters. Since 2021, Iran's Navy has ramped up its aggression in the area and has attacked or seized nearly 20 internationally flagged merchant ships NavSent confirmed. As a response, the US has increased the number of rotational ships and aircraft patrolling the strait of Hormuz in coordination with its allies to deter threats and ensure the safety of commercial shipping.
