Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claims it intercepted and forced two oil tankers traveling under alleged US air escort to stop in the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's busiest energy shipping routes. Tehran says the vessels used an "unauthorised route," while reports also claim four other ships changed course following the incident. The claims have not been independently verified, and the episode has intensified concerns over shipping security, oil supplies, and rising US-Iran tensions in the Gulf.
