"Iran's Revolutionary Guard Seizes Israeli-Linked Ship in Strait of Hormuz Amid Tensions"

Iran's Revolutionary Guard seized an Israeli-affiliated container ship near the Strait of Hormuz, escalating tensions with Israel amid ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. The vessel, MSC Aries, associated with London-based Zodiac Maritime, was seized by Iranian commandos rappelling down from a helicopter. The seizure comes after a suspected Israeli strike in Syria and ongoing Israeli war on Hamas in Gaza, inflaming regional tensions. The U.S. has warned Iran against attacking Israel, while the Gulf of Oman, where the seizure occurred, is a crucial shipping route for globally traded oil.
