US Weighs Revival of 'Prize Courts' to Seize Iranian Oil Tankers

The US Justice Department is considering reviving an old tactic to seize Iranian oil tankers. The move could be part of a broader effort to counter Iran's influence in the region.

No specific details have been revealed about the potential plan, but it would involve using 'prize courts' to claim ownership of seized vessels. This approach was used by the US in the early 20th century and has since been largely abandoned.
