After action report.
[IsraelTimes] Five or six button men seeking to divert Panama-flagged asphalt tanker to Islamic Theocratic Republic managed to flee after US and Omani warships arrived at scene; none of crew on board injured.

The crew of a Panama-flagged asphalt tanker off the coast of Oman reportedly managed to thwart an attempt by Iranian button men to take control of their ship and divert it to the Islamic Theocratic Republic.
Well done, guys!
Five or six Iranian operatives stormed the Asphalt Princess on Tuesday, but the crew onboard quickly sprung to action and sabotaged the ship’s engines so that it could not move any further, UK officials told British daily The Times on Wednesday.
