Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy conducted a helicopter operation near the Strait of Hormuz, seizing a container ship, as reported by state news agency IRNA on Saturday.
The IRGC took control of the Portuguese-flagged MSC Aries and is currently redirecting it back to Iranian territorial waters, according to IRNA. The vessel is managed by Zodiac Maritime, a company associated with Israeli businessman Eyal Ofer.
