Iranian special forces boarded an oil tanker and seized it for hours near the Strait of Hormuz amid heightened tensions between Tehran and the US.
The US Central Command posted a grainy black-and-white video online showing a helicopter hovering low over the Liberian-flagged MT Wila.
The Iranian Navy allegedly then descended and were seen fast-roping on the deck of the vessel, whose last position appeared to be off the eastern coast of the UAE near the city of Khorfakkan.
The Iranian navy held the vessel for five hours before eventually releasing it on Wednesday, a US military source said.
