US Navy blocks non-Iranian oil tanker passing Hormuz Strait

The US Navy forced a Greek oil tanker carrying Iraqi crude to return after successfully transiting the Strait of Hormuz with Iranian clearance, marking the first publicly documented case of a non-Iranian commercial vessel being turned back at the US blockade line. This action highlights the US Navy's continued operation of the Hormuz Strait security initiative and raises tensions between the US and Iran. The incident could disrupt oil supplies and create volatility in global energy markets.
