Two Iran-linked oil tankers, after being boarded and inspected by the U.S. military, are now sailing westward across the Indian Ocean

Odaily Planet Daily News: Two Iran-linked oil tankers that were intercepted by the U.S. military near Sri Lanka last week are now sailing westward. The Pentagon stated last week that the U.S. military conducted "maritime interdiction and boarding inspection" operations on the two supertankers, the "Tiffany" and the "Phoenix," on April 21 and 23 respectively, but did not provide further details on the subsequent handling of the vessels. Digital signals from the two tankers show that they are currently sailing westward across the Indian Ocean, one behind the other. The United States has not yet officially stated its specific intentions for the two tankers. They are still transmitting the same destination signals as when the interception occurred, further fueling confusion about their current course. (Jin Shi)
