Let me now turn to global operations in the Pacific and I want to highlight that this is a major interagency effort between the United States Military, the White House, the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of justice. On Monday, April 20, US Indopacom forces in support of a Department of justice request interdicted the motor tanker Tiffany which was transporting sanctioned Iranian oil.
