Trader consensus favors "No" at 81.5% for U.S. forces seizing another oil tanker by March 31, driven by the absence of new official announcements from the Justice Department or Defense Department signaling imminent enforcement actions. The January 2024 seizure of the Suez Rajan, carrying sanctioned Iranian oil in the Gulf of Oman, marked a targeted sanctions violation response, with no reported follow-up operations amid shifting U.S. naval priorities toward countering Houthi threats in the Red Sea. Ongoing patrols enforce Iran oil smuggling restrictions, but without fresh intelligence or diplomatic escalations, traders assess low near-term probability of a repeat seizure before the deadline.
