US forces intercepted and seized the crude oil tanker Skywave in the Indian Ocean on 19 May, citing ties to Iranian oil shipments. According to three US officials cited by The Wall Street Journal, the vessel was probably carrying more than 1 million barrels of Iranian oil. This marks the third such seizure, with the previous two tankers—Majestic X and Tifani—intercepted in April.
