The Iranian military has fired warning missiles at US vessels in the Gulf of Oman in response to the US seizing commercial oil tankers, according to local media and as reported by Al Jazeera.

In a statement on X, the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command stated that it had "carried out a maritime interdiction and right-of-visit boarding of the sanctioned stateless vessel MT DAVINA located in the Indian Ocean within the INDOPACOM area of responsibility."

"The Department of War will continue to deny illicit act ors and their vessels freedom of maneuver in the maritime domain," the Command added.
