Iran seizes foreign tanker for smuggling 2 million liters of fuel

A foreign tanker was seized by Iran in the Gulf of Oman for smuggling 2 million liters of fuel, the chief justice of Hormozgan province said on Wednesday, according to Iran's semi-official Mehr news agency.

"During the continuous process of monitoring and surveilling suspicious fuel smuggling movements in the Gulf of Oman, officers inspected a foreign tanker due to its lack of legal documents regarding its cargo and seized it on charges of carrying 2 million liters of smuggled fuel," Hormozgan's Chief Justice Mojtaba Ghahremani said, according to the report.

The judiciary official added that 17 crew members were arrested and that a judicial case was opened at the Jask county prosecutor's office.

There was no additional information regarding the name of the tanker or the flag to which it is registered.
