⚓️ Iran Seizes Two Ships, Fires on Third in Strait of Hormuz — First Seizures Since War Began Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Navy seized two container ships in the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday and transferred them to Iranian shores — the first such seizures since the war began February 28. ▪️The two vessels seized were identified as the Panama-flagged MSC Francesca? operated by MSC, the world’s largest container shipping company, and the Liberia-flagged Epaminondas, which was en route to India. ▪️The IRGC accused both of “operating without proper authorization, repeatedly violating regulations, and manipulating navigation systems.” A third ship, the Greek-owned Euphoria, was also targeted and reported stranded on the Iranian coast by Fars News Agency, though later tracking data showed it passing through the strait and resuming speed. The Epaminondas’s management company confirmed the ship was “approached and fired upon by a manned gunboat” with no prior warning, causing heavy damage to the bridge. All crew were safe. The seizures came hours after Trump extended the ceasefire indefinitely while maintaining the naval blockade, an act of war. They follow the U.S. firing on and seizing the Iranian cargo ship Touska on Sunday, and the boarding of the U.S.- sanctioned oil tanker Tifani in the Indian Ocean on Tuesday.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Brent crude surged past $100 per barrel on the news.
