US intercepts 3 Iranian oil tankers in Asian water

The U.S. military has intercepted at least three Iranian-flagged tankers in Asian waters, redirecting them away from positions near India, Malaysia and Sri Lanka. The U.S. has imposed a blockade on Iran's trade by sea, while Iran has fired on ships to prevent them from sailing through the Strait of Hormuz. This has disrupted the supply of a significant portion of the world's oil and gas supplies, causing a global energy crisis.
