Iran's Revolutionary Guards seized an Israeli-linked cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, following Tehran's recent threat to close the strategic shipping route. The seizure came in the wake of Iran's warning of retaliation for an Israeli strike on its consulate in Syria.

MSC, the operator of the Aries, confirmed that Iran had seized the ship. They stated they were collaborating "with the relevant authorities" to ensure the safe return of the vessel and the well-being of its 25 crew members, reported Reuters.
