-- Two Iran-linked oil tankers intercepted by U.S. forces near Sri Lanka have turned around in the Indian Ocean, Bloomberg reported on Monday.
The vessels identified as the Tifani and Phonix were boarded by U.S. forces last week. The report said after initially heading west, the tankers turned east late Monday, according to shipping data.
The U.S. has not clarified what will happen to the ships or their cargo, and both vessels continue to signal Asian destinations, creating confusion about their final route.
