US federal prosecutors filed a lawsuit for the seizure of over 1.1 million barrels of gasoline on the four vessels. A judge issued a warrant for the seizure, but it remained unclear whether this could or would be carried out if the tankers never enter US territorial waters.

"One official said the vessels had been taken over without the use of military force but didn’t provide any details."
No doubt it was done either in international waters or in the territory of an ally friendly to the US maximum pressure campaign seeking to choke Tehran. The vessels - the Luna, Panid, Bering, and Bella - are now in US custody, said by the WSJ to be en route to Houston.
"Senior administration officials are expected to meet the tankers in the coming days at an event scheduled to mark the docking, the officials said," according to the report. -

This just seems wrong to me. I was unaware that tankers transported refined gasoline. It seems extremely dangerous. -

Does not answer my question. Do ocean tankers transport refined gasoline?
I believe they only transport crude unrefined oil as a rule.
Makes me question the validity of the story as a whole.
Also, why are Iran, Venezuela and Houston all involved?
Something stinks. -
