On 14 November 2025, the Talara, a Marshall Islands–flagged oil tanker owned by Pasha Finance Inc., while carrying a cargo of high-sulphur gasoil from Sharjah to Singapore was seized by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) about 22 miles (35 km) off Khor Fakkan and forced from Emirati waters into Iran's exclusive economic zone. It was later located deep inside Iranian waters in the Khuran/Clarence Strait. The IRGC justified the seizure by stating that it was "in line with safeguarding the interests and resources of the Iranian nation", in a statement to Mehr News, implying that it was an anti-smuggling operation. However, the IRGC posted a statement on X about "aggressing against those who aggress against you", suggesting that it was of a retaliatory nature, likely linked to the loss of the Iranian shadow-fleet LPG tanker Falcon, with the Talara's 30,000-tonne cargo seen as compensation.
