An Eswatini-flagged ship carrying 350,000 liters of smuggled fuel has been seized by Iranian authorities. The vessel was intercepted off the coast of Bushehr, prompting the detention of its 13 crew members.
The operation is part of Iran's continuous efforts to curb widespread fuel smuggling, which is prevalent both by land and sea due to the country's subsidized fuel prices.
