Iranian state media has announced that IRGC forces boarded and seized the Portuguese-flagged container vessel “MSC Aries” in the Strait of Hormuz because of its links to Israel.
The vessel is managed by Zodiac Maritime, a UK-based shipping company with ties to the billionaire Israeli Ofer family.
No injuries reported amongst the crew as the vessel gets moved to Iranian waters.
An informed source in the IRGC Navy confirmed the seizure of a foreign vessel affiliated with the Zionist regime in the Persian Gulf, near the Strait of Hormuz, adding that further details will be announced soon. pic.twitter.com/fw7YCGOb6A
