Iranian army detains oil tanker for ‘violations,’ Tasnim reports
The Iranian army seized an oil tanker for “attempting to disrupt oil exports and the interests of the Iranian nation,” the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported. “Naval commandos of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army, during a special operation, detained the violating oil tanker Ocean Koi,” Tasnim said.

The report didn’t say where or when the seizure took place
