Iranian Commandos Seize Israeli-Linked Cargo Ship in the Strait of Hormuz (VIDEO)
While the whole world looks to the sky in anxious anticipation of the expected Iranian retaliation against Israel for the strike on its Damascus embassy, trouble started in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) seized an Israeli-linked cargo ship, days after Tehran said it could close the crucial shipping route.
Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency reported that an IRGC helicopter boarded the Portuguese flagged MSC Aries and taken into Iranian waters.
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz accused Tehran of piracy and called on the West to list the IRGC as a terrorist organization.
Reuters reported:
“MSC, which operates the Aries, confirmed Iran had seized the ship and said it was working “with the relevant authorities” for its safe return and the wellbeing of its 25 crew.
