Iranian forces seize container ship near Strait of Hormuz
Commandos from Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard have landed on a container ship near the Strait of Hormuz and seized the vessel, authorities said.
Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency acknowledged the seizure after a video seen by the Associated Press showed the commandos dropping on to the ship from a helicopter on Saturday, an attack a Middle East defence official attributed to Iran amid wider tensions between Tehran and the West.
