Iran Press/ Middle East: Mohammad Ali al-Houthi wrote in a tweet on Wednesday night: "Iran's action to return its oil is decisive and responsible."
Referring to the close confrontation between the IRGC navy and the American ship, he said that it shows Iran's deterrence, readiness, and rapid action. With the timely and authoritative action of the navy of the IRGC, the operation of piracy and stealing Iranian oil was failed.
In doing so, the United States confiscated a tanker carrying Iranian oil exports in the waters of the Oman Sea and diverted its oil shipment to another tanker to an unknown destination.

At the same time, the IRGC navy forces captured the tanker's deck via heliborne operation and directed it to the territorial waters of Iran.
US forces then used several helicopters and warships to chase the tanker, but the decisive and authoritative Iranian troops were thwarted.
The American forces, again with great manpower and using a few more warships, tried to block the tanker's path but again failed. This tanker is currently in the territorial waters of Iran.
