美国国防部周二宣布,美军于昨夜在印度-太平洋司令部(INDOPACOM)责任区内对一艘受制裁的无旗原油油轮实施登船截停行动。

此次行动中,美军登上了“蒂法尼号”(M/T Tifani)——这艘无旗原油油轮此前因协助在船舶间转运伊朗石油,被美国国务院列入制裁名单。

根据五角大楼在X平台上发布的消息,美军在印度-太平洋司令部责任区内“未发生任何意外”完成登船。该责任区覆盖整个太平洋以及部分印度洋海域。开源海事追踪数据显示,该船在斯里兰卡附近的印度洋海域停航。

“正如我们明确表明的那样,我们将在全球范围内开展海事执法行动,摧毁非法网络,截停为伊朗提供物质支持的受制裁船舶,无论它们在何处作业,”该帖文写道。

“国际水域不是受制裁船舶的避风港。美国国防部将继续剥夺非法行为人及其船只在海事领域的行动自由,”该帖文总结道。

开源海事追踪数据显示,“蒂法尼号”于3月底从中国东九日港驶离。据大宗商品追踪机构阿格斯新闻报道,该船在伊朗主要石油出口终端——哈尔克岛的码头完成装货。

据美国国务院消息,该船历史上曾使用博茨瓦纳、喀麦隆、坦桑尼亚、帕劳和巴拿马国旗,过去至少两次通过船对船转运方式装载受美国制裁的伊朗油轮运送的伊朗石油。

该船原本计划前往新加坡附近的廖内群岛,最终目的地预计为中国内地。

据乌克兰军事情报部门消息,“蒂法尼号”还曾在新加坡附近开展“隐身活动”。该船经常关闭自动识别系统(AIS),这种行为通常被称为“隐身航行”。国际海事组织(IMO)规定,所有在国际航行中总吨位超过300吨的船舶必须始终开启自动识别系统。

此次截停行动是美军两天内第二次针对与伊朗有关联的船舶发起的海上对峙。美军登船并扣押了伊朗籍货轮“图斯卡号”,美方指控该船试图绕过霍尔木兹海峡当前的海上封锁。

据美国中央司令部(CENTCOM)消息,在向该船发出警告后,导弹驱逐舰“斯普鲁恩斯号”(USS Spruance)指令“图斯卡号”船员撤离机舱,并使用舰上MK 45舰炮发射导弹,摧毁了“图斯卡号”的推进系统。

和“蒂法尼号”一样,“图斯卡号”此前也曾停靠中国,凸显出受制裁石油从伊朗运往中国的潜在供应链路线。

中国方面批评美国扣押“图斯卡号”,中国外交部发言人将霍尔木兹海峡局势称为“敏感且复杂”。

US interdicts stateless sanctioned tanker sailing from Iran to China

U.S. forces conducted a boarding and interdiction operation overnight on a stateless sanctioned crude oil tanker in the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM) area of responsibility, the Department of War announced Tuesday.

The operation saw U.S. forces board the M/T Tifani, a stateless crude oil tanker previously sanctioned by the U.S. State Department for facilitating the transfer of Iranian oil between ships.

The military boarded the ship in INDOPACAM’s area, which encompasses the entire Pacific Ocean and parts of the Indian Ocean, “without incident,” according to the Pentagon’s post on X. Open source maritime trackers showed the ship halting progress in the Indian Ocean near Sri Lanka.

“As we have made clear, we will pursue global maritime enforcement efforts to disrupt illicit networks and interdict sanctioned vessels providing material support to Iran — anywhere they operate,” the post read.

“International waters are not a refuge for sanctioned vessels. The Department of War will continue to deny illicit actors and their vessels freedom of maneuver in the maritime domain,” the post concluded.

Open source maritime trackers showed the Tifani departing from Dongjiakou, China, in late March. According to commodities tracker Argus News, the vessel loaded up at the terminal on Iran’s Kharg Island, the country’s premier oil export terminal.

The vessel — which has historically sailed under the flags of Botswana, Cameroon, Tanzania, Palau, and Panama — has loaded Iranian oil in ship-to-ship transfers with U.S.-sanctioned Iranian tankers at least twice in the past, according to the State Department.

The vessel was heading to Riau Archipelago near Singapore before it was eventually expected to reach mainland China.

M/T Tifani has also conducted “dark activity” near Singapore, according to Ukrainian military intelligence. The craft routinely turns off its Automatic Identification System (AIS), a move commonly referred to as “going dark.” International Maritime Organization (IMO) mandates that all ships carrying over 300 gross tonnes on international voyages operate AIS at all times.

The interdiction was the second such naval confrontation the military made on Iranian-linked ships in as many days. U.S. forces boarded and seized the Touska, an Iranian-flagged cargo ship which the U.S. accused of attempting to bypass an ongoing maritime blockade in the Strait of Hormuz.

After issuing warnings to the vessel, the guided-missile destroyer, USS Spruance instructed the Touska crew to vacate the engine room and fired missiles from the ship’s MK 45 Gun, disabling Touska’s propulsion systems, according to CENTCOM.

The Touska, like the Tifani, had previously stopped in China, highlighting a potential supply route between China and Iran for sanctioned oil.

China criticized the U.S. seizure of the Touska, with a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson calling the Strait of Hormuz situation “sensitive and complex.”

Fox News Digital contacted INDOPACOM and the Pentagon for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
