Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has seized two oil tankers with foreign crews in Gulf waters, claiming the vessels were involved in “fuel smuggling,” according to Iranian media.

The flags of the tankers and the nationalities of the crews have not yet been disclosed.

The move comes amid rising tensions, as Washington deploys additional naval forces to the region and warns Tehran to accept a nuclear deal following Iran’s violent crackdown on anti-regime protests.

The Strait of Hormuz is once again being used as leverage.
