What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Two Iran-linked oil supertankers, Tifani and Majestic X, are weeks away from reaching the US after being interdicted by American naval forces in April. Authorities have pledged to seize the vessels and approximately 4 million barrels of crude oil they are carrying. The Justice Department had initiated a forfeiture process against the ships, which are transporting Iranian oil banned in the US for decades.
