[49529] Tensions at sea and in the diplomatic arena: Iran challenges the American blockade

Tension rising between Iran and the U.S. at sea and in diplomatic ranks

Security tensions are being recorded at sea and in the diplomatic sphere, after the vessel tracking company TankerTrackers reported that a giant Iranian tanker managed to evade the U.S. Navy's blockade. According to the report, the tanker is carrying approximately 1.9 million barrels of oil estimated to be worth about 220 million dollars, and is now on its way to the Far East.

Simultaneously, a total stalemate is evident in the contacts surrounding the Iranian nuclear program. According to a report by Israel News Without Censorship, relying on a publication in 'Axios', Tehran is setting preconditions for the resumption of talks, including a demand for the removal of the U.S. naval blockade and the implementation of a "permanent ceasefire". In the meantime, the Iranian Foreign Ministry officially clarified that "at this stage, no negotiations are taking place regarding the nuclear issue".

In another arena, the Israel News | Without Censorship network reports, based on an American official who spoke with the Reuters news agency, that two American soldiers defined as missing in Morocco "have likely fallen into the sea".
