Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy has confiscated a tanker carrying a huge amount of smuggled fuel in the Persian Gulf waters.

According to The Iran Project, all the 12 crew members with Indian and Sri Lankan nationalities were also arrested.

The second naval zone of the IRGC said in a statement on Monday that the vessel with the flag of Togo was carrying over 1.5 million liters of smuggled fuel.
The Belt Guse tanker was seized off the coast of the southern port city of Bushehr. It was smuggling fuel in an “organized way.”

Late in January, the IRGC Navy also confiscated a foreign tanker carrying two million liters of smuggled fuel in the southern waters.
