Iran's Navy has seized an oil tanker on in the Gulf of Oman that once was at the centre of a major crisis between Tehran and Washington, officials say, a seizure that further escalates tensions in the Middle East waterways.The vessel was once known as the Suez Rajan and was involved in a year-long dispute that ultimately saw the United States Justice Department seize 1 million barrels of Iranian crude oil on it.The seizure also comes after weeks of attacks by Yemen's Iranian-backed Houthi rebels on shipping in the Red Sea, including their largest barrage ever of drones and missiles launched late on Tuesday.
