US INDOPACOM forces have conducted another maritime interdiction in the Indian Ocean, boarding the crude oil tanker M/T MAJESTIC X. The boarding was executed by two MH-60S Seahawk helicopters as a rig insertion, with a third helicopter providing cover. The Guyana-flagged vessel was reportedly carrying Iranian oil at the time of the operation. This action is part of the ongoing US enforcement of sanctions against Iranian oil exports.
