A small chemical tanker was intercepted by Iran's coast guard as the ship's paperwork lacked a reference to the "Persian Gulf," according to state news agency Tasnim.

The 16,755-dwt Feodora (built 1992) was held at the southern port of Bandar Imam Khomeini. Officials told Tasnim the vesssel was held due to the use of a "fake name" in referencing the waters it was transiting.
