Reverse image search shows a bunch of other social media posts and Arabic sites that I can't read.

A reddit post cites this source: https://shafaq.com/en/Security/Basra-tribesmen-help-free-hijacked-oil-tanker

Also mentioned in that post is this reuters article: https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/us-sanctioned-oil-tanker-sibu-1-rescued-somali-pirates-2026-09-25/
