LONDON - U.S. commercial ships including oil tankers sailing through key Middle East waterways could be targeted by Iran in one of the threats to U.S. interests posed by Tehran, the U.S. Maritime Administration said in an advisory.
In the advisory posted on Thursday, the U.S. Maritime Administration said that since early May there had been an increased possibility of Iran or its regional proxies taking action against U.S. and partner interests. “Reporting indicates heightened Iranian readiness to conduct offensive operations against U.S. forces and interests.”
Vice Admiral Jim Malloy, commander of the U.S. Navy’s Bahrain-based Fifth Fleet, told Reuters on Thursday that its forces were on a heightened state of readiness, although the U.S. military was not seeking or preparing for war with Iran.
