The Iranian government has released a footage purportedly documenting the seizure of a commercial container ship in the Strait of Hormuz.
The video, shared by state-affiliated media Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, shows armed members of the Iranian military, wearing masks, scaling the hull of the cargo vessel to gain control of the deck. This escalation follows claims by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) that their forces "captured two vessels in the strait on Wednesday".
