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

According to Odaily, two oil tankers linked to Iran, which were intercepted by the U.S. military near Sri Lanka last week, are currently sailing westward. The Pentagon stated last week that U.S. forces executed "maritime interdiction and boarding operations" on the two supertankers, the "Tiffany" and the "Phoenix," on April 21 and 23, respectively, but did not provide details on the subsequent disposition of the vessels. Digital signals from the two tankers indicate they are currently sailing westward across the Indian Ocean, one behind the other. The U.S. has not yet officially stated its specific intentions regarding the disposition of the two tankers. They continue to transmit the same destination signals as when the interception occurred, further deepening the confusion over their current whereabouts. (Jinshi)
