US preparing to board Iran-linked tankers

The Wall Street Journal reports the U.S. military is preparing to board and seize Iran-linked oil tankers in international waters in the coming days. This action is part of an effort to expand its naval blockade against Iran beyond the Strait of Hormuz. The move signals a significant escalation in U.S. enforcement actions aimed at cutting off Iran's oil revenue. The preparations come amid heightened tensions and ongoing military movements in the region.
