U.S. Central Command has accused Iran of illegally seizing a Marshall Islands-flagged tanker, M/V Talara, in international waters in the Strait of Hormuz. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) boarded the vessel by helicopter and redirected it to Iranian territory. CENTCOM calls the act a blatant violation of international law, warning it undermines freedom of navigation and global commerce. The United States says it will remain vigilant alongside allies to ensure regional peace and stability.
