The Associated Press reports that Iran has begun unloading oil from the American oil tanker.
Yesterday, the Associated Press wrote in an exclusive report that the unloading of the seized Suze Rajan oil tanker, which was detained by the United States about three months ago, has begun. Iranian officials had warned that they would take retaliatory action if the oil on this ship was unloaded.
Meanwhile, Iranian media have released a video claiming that it shows Iranian Revolutionary Guard boats warning off US ships and helicopters. However, independent news sources have not commented on this.
Analysis of ship tracking data indicates that the transfer and unloading of the seized Suze Rajan oil tanker began in the late hours of Saturday, August 19th. It is said that this American tanker was carrying Iranian oil.
According to the Associated Press report, the Suze Rajan cargo is being transferred to another oil tanker off the coast of Texas in the Gulf of Mexico.
Four days ago, Republican and Democratic members of the US Congress requested in letters to President Joe Biden the immediate transfer of the Suze Rajan oil cargo to another tanker.
