The seizure of the Advantage Sweet, registered under the Marshall Islands flag and managed by a Turkish company for Advantage Tankers of Switzerland, occurred shortly after the US had appropriated an Iranian oil shipment aboard the Greek tanker Suez Rajan near Singapore. The latter action was taken on behalf of the families of the 9/11 terror attacks, culminating in the cargo’s offloading and sale in Texas for victim compensation funds.
The Iranian court’s justification for the confiscation shifted from an initial claim of the Advantage Sweet being involved in a hit-and-run collision with an Iranian vessel, resulting in casualties and injuries, to a court ruling based on the alleged effects of US-imposed sanctions. The sanctions, reinstated during the Trump administration in 2018, have reportedly hindered the import of specialized medical supplies into Iran, particularly affecting patients with the rare genetic condition Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB).
