Iran oil tanker Suez Rajan offloading near Galveston, Texas coast
SUMMARY: The American-owned oil tanker, Suez Rajan, suspected of carrying sanctioned Iranian crude oil, has begun offloading its cargo near Texas, despite threats from Tehran to target shipping in the Persian Gulf. Ship-tracking data revealed that the oil was being transferred to another tanker, MR Euphrates, near Galveston. The fate of the cargo has been caught up in the wider tensions between the US and Iran. The US Navy has increased its presence in the region, while Iran has seized two tankers near the Strait of Hormuz. The owners of Suez Rajan and US officials have not yet commented on the situation.
