The IRGC Navy seized a foreign vessel carrying near 1.5 million liters of fuel in the Persian Gulf and detained its crew, the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News Agency reported on Sunday. It is unclear when exactly the vessel was seized.

The chief justice of the Bushehr Province, Mehdi Mehrangiz, stated that the vessel was carrying smuggled diesel fuel and had a crew of 10 people. Mehrangiz added that the vessel was headed to "one of the Persian Gulf countries," without providing further details.

"Diesel, oil, and gasoline that reach people at the expense of public funds should not be smuggled to other countries, and the judicial system will decisively deal with these violations," said Mehrangiz.
