Six Iranian military vessels approached a US tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, north of Oman, ordering the crew to shut down their engines and that they would board the ship.
Elchi.az reports that this was reported by The Wall Street Journal, citing Vanguard Tech, a maritime security company.
It was noted that the captain ignored these demands, the ship accelerated, and later came under the protection of an American ship.
Reuters, citing a US official, reported that unidentified boats approached the Stena Imperative, which was sailing under the US flag.
