The Pentagon released video released video Thursday showing U.S. forces carrying out "a maritime interdiction" of a tanker shipping oil out of Iran.
"We will continue global maritime enforcement to disrupt illicit networks and interdict vessels providing material support to Iran, wherever they operate," the Department of War said.
