IRGC Navy seizes oil tanker with ‘unauthorized cargo’ off Makran coast

TEHRAN (Iran News) In a statement on Saturday, the IRGC Navy said the “operation was carried out in line with legal duties and to protect the national interests and resources of the Islamic Republic of Iran.”

According to the statement, the IRGC’s rapid reaction units began monitoring the Marshall Islands-flagged tanker “Talara” on the early morning of Friday after a court ordered the seizure of the vessel.

The tanker, loaded with 30,000 tons of petrochemical materials and heading for Singapore, was guided to anchorage for an investigation into its violations.

The Navy noted that a full review of the cargo and verification of its documentation was conducted and that it was established that the ship was “carrying unauthorized cargo.”
