What was the basis of the dispute where America thought it had an interest in the ship and it’s cargo?

If it’s in the rights of sanctions, the Navy needs to go and retrieve the sanctioned items.

Failure to so demonstrates the Biden Willow regime’s failures in resolve.

The ship had been used to transport Iranian oil for a U.S. company, in violation of the U.S. sanctions against Iran.

The U.S. government filed a criminal case against the company involved, and had them bring it to the U.S. and offload the oil as part of the criminal penalty in the plea agreement.

Ten bucks says Iran is just returning the favor. They will bring the ship to Iran and drain all the oil out of it — to compensate them for what was “stolen” from them previously.
