Shadow fleet intercepted: US Navy forces sanctioned tanker Sevan to retreat toward Iran

The US Navy has intercepted an Iranian vessel, the M/V Sevan, in the Arabian Sea. This ship is part of Iran's 'shadow fleet' and was forced to return to Iranian waters. This action is part of a broader US naval blockade targeting Iranian energy exports. US forces are enforcing sanctions and have redirected 37 vessels since the blockade began.
