The WSJ reported on possible US plans to seize tankers with Iranian oil.

The American administration is considering the possibility of increasing pressure on Tehran by seizing tankers with Iranian oil. This was reported on February 10 by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), citing sources.

According to the newspaper, Washington sees this step as a way to persuade Iran to conclude a deal limiting its nuclear program. However, the United States has not yet decided on such a step, fearing rising oil prices and a possible decisive reaction from Tehran.

A White House official, responding to a request from the WSJ, noted that American leader Donald Trump has various options for action in the event of a failure of negotiations with Iran.
