PETALING JAYA: Five Iran-linked tankers headed to Malaysia from the Gulf of Oman turned around after the United States warned it may intercept ships suspected of carrying Iranian oil in international waters, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported.
The report, citing List Intelligence, said that the Iran-flagged Suezmax Kariz, loaded with about one million barrels of crude, changed course off Sri Lanka early last Friday (April 17) after initially heading towards Malaysia and Singapore.
