What happened

Iranian authorities said border guards based at Bandar Abbas prevented the transfer of 2 million litres of diesel to an unidentified foreign vessel in the Gulf and arrested six alleged principal members of the suspected smuggling network. The claim was carried by Fars News Agency and reported in Al Jazeera's live coverage. The available account did not identify the vessel, flag, owner, intended destination, transfer location or whether fuel or a vessel was formally seized. No casualties, damage, pollution, port closure or regional supply interruption were reported. The marker is an approximate Bandar Abbas reference, not a verified interdiction coordinate.
