Reports are starting to come in saying that about three hours ago, the United States seized another Iranian Oil Tanker Vessel on the High Seas. This is NOT (yet) confirmed by any US official source.
Iran said as recently as this past week, if the U.S. continues doing this, Iran will attack US forces and US bases in the Middle East.

Over the past few hours, numerous indications have been mounting that suggest the US will very soon resume the war against Iran and launch strikes.
US President Trump partly held off on additional strikes because Pentagon officials warned that Iran was adapting to the U.S. air campaign.
Officials said Iranian commanders had studied U.S. fighter and bomber flight patterns — possibly with Russian assistance — making American operations more predictable and improving the effectiveness of Iran's air defenses.
The downing of a McDonnell Douglas F-15E Strike Eagle and damage to a Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II were cited as signs that the risks to U.S. aircraft were increasing.
UPDATE 6:58 PM EDT --
The tanker seized by the U.S. is named the "Skywave," was likely carrying over a million barrels of crude oil that was loaded from Iran’s Kharg Island in February. The vessel was seized in the Indian Ocean.
