The United States seized an Iranian-linked tanker carrying more than 1 million barrels of crude oil, according to reports on May 20.
Seizures of tankers are a direct way of enforcing sanctions and the naval blockade, and each one reduces the oil Iran can sell abroad.
The report did not name the tanker, its location or the legal process used for the seizure.
Iran has responded to past seizures with threats or seizures of its own, so incidents like this can raise tension in the shipping lanes. Watch for any response from Tehran in the days that follow.
