Iran’s navy said it has seized two cargo ships in the Strait of Hormuz and taken them to the country’s coast after reports that three vessels came under fire from Iranian forces.
Nour News, a website affiliated with Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, said the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) opened fire on the first ship, the Epaminodes, after it had “ignored the warnings of the Iranian armed forces”.
A second ship, named Euphoria, was then stopped after being “fired upon”, followed by the targeting of a third vessel, the MSC-Francesca, according to BBC Verify.
BREAKING: Three separate ships were reportedly attacked in the Strait of Hormuz during what was supposed to be a ceasefire with Iran.
"The third cargo ship, the most recent, reportedly has been attacked while attempting to transit the strait. It may have a Panama flag on it."… pic.twitter.com/AVeQTRMKRX
