[US Media: US Government Seeks to "Confiscate" Two Oil Tankers Linked to Iran] Golden Finance reported on April 30 that Bloomberg News stated on the 29th, citing a senior White House official, that the US government is seeking to "confiscate" two oil tankers linked to Iran that were recently intercepted by the US Navy. According to the report, the official said the US Department of Justice has initiated the "confiscation" process but did not elaborate on the specific details of the procedure or clarify whether this move indicates the US intends to "confiscate" the crude oil carried by the tankers. The official, who requested anonymity, also declined to disclose how the vessels would ultimately be handled, citing "operational security," and refused to comment on their current navigation routes. According to information released by the US Department of Defense, the US Navy intercepted and boarded two oil tankers "transporting oil from Iran" in the Indian Ocean on April 20 and April 22, respectively. The report stated that the two tankers continued sailing in the Indian Ocean in the following days and appeared to have changed course multiple times. (Xinhua News Agency)
