Trader consensus heavily favors no U.S. forces seizing another oil tanker by March 31, driven by the absence of official announcements or military signals indicating such operations amid ongoing Red Sea tensions. The U.S.-led coalition, including recent airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen following attacks on commercial shipping, has emphasized defensive measures like Operation Prosperity Guardian to protect vessels rather than offensive seizures. The last notable U.S. tanker seizure occurred in April 2023 involving Iranian-smuggled oil, with no comparable actions reported since. As the deadline nears without escalatory developments from the Pentagon or State Department, markets reflect low probability of intervention, prioritizing de-escalation in the Iran-Houthi context.
