Following maritime interdiction and boarding operations on April 21 and 23, the US Navy conducted right-of-visit inspections of two Iran-linked oil tankers, the Tifani and the Phonix. Both vessels have since been observed moving westward across the Indian Ocean. Analysts are speculating that their destination may be the United States, though their ultimate port remains unclear. This movement follows the Trump administration's enforcement of its naval blockade against Iran.
