Iranian Commandos Seize Portuguese Ship near Strait of Hormuz | MSC Aries Incident Explained | News9

Commandos from Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps have seized the Portuguese-flagged container ship MSC Aries near the Strait of Hormuz. The incident, captured on video, shows the commandos taking control of the vessel, which is being transferred to Iran’s territorial waters, as reported by Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency. The attack, reported by the UK Maritime Trade Operations, occurred in the Gulf of Oman off the Emirati port city of Fujairah. This seizure follows Iran’s recent warning about potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz after an airstrike on its embassy in Syria. The MSC Aries is owned by Zodiac Maritime, partly owned by Israeli businessman Eyal Ofer. ..............................................................................................
