Zitat:US rejects Iranian tanker seizure claimhttps://www.janes.com/defence-news/defen...zure-claim
The United States immediately rejected a claim by Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) that it had captured a tanker carrying oil stolen by the US Navy.
Citing the IRGC, the Iranian media reported on 3 November that the US Navy had hijacked a tanker carrying Iranian oil, then transferred its cargo to another tanker. The IRGC immediately responded by boarding the second tanker, which was sailed to Bandar Abbas on 25 October after the US Navy failed to block it.
A video of the operation was released showing a helicopter dropping Iranian commandos on to a tanker named Sothys . IRGC vessels were then seen sailing between the tanker and two US Navy destroyers – USS Michael Murphy (DDG 112) and USS The Sullivans.
