Update: the vessel reportedly seized by Iranian authorities was identified as the Portuguese-flagged MSC ARIES which is managed by Zodiac Maritime, a company owned by Israeli billionaire Eyal Ofer.

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), a detachment of the Royal Navy, warned on April 13 that a vessel may have been boarded by a “regional authority” near the Strait of Hormuz.
The incident took place 50 nautical miles northeast of the United Arab Emirates’ Fujairah port, the organizational side in a warning notice, adding that authorities were investigating.
“Vessels are advised to transit with caution and report any suspicious activity to UKMTO,” the notice reads.
Later, the Associated Press said that it received a video showing commandos raiding a ship near the Strait of Hormuz by helicopter. A Middle Eastern defense official who provided the video to the news agency attributed the raid to Iran. The video in question has not been published yet.
Though the AP could not immediately verify the video, it corresponded to known details of the boarding and the helicopter involved appeared to be one used by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
The Persian Gulf and nearby waters witnessed in recent years a series of ship seizures by Iran. U.S. attempts to enforce sanctions on Iran provoked many of these seizures, which were more of a reaction by Tehran.
The new incident came amid rising tensions between Israel and Iran over the April 1 Israeli strike on the Iranian embassy in the Syrian capital, Damascus, which claimed the lives of 13 people, including senior commanders and members of the IRGC.

dont worry, the brits should fly the rainbow flag, that should keep the iranians away. remember what m.i.6 chief said about russia: “with the tragedy and destruction unfolding so distressingly in ukraine, we should remember the values and hard won freedoms that distinguish us from putin, none more than lgbt+ rights. so let’s resume our series of tweets to mark #lgbthm2022” mwahahahahahahah. nobody should take the british seriously
people in ukraine who had previously been seen as pathological individuals are now highly valued. vitaly klitschko openly invited murderers to join his idiots army. following in his footsteps, the danish state welcomed criminals, including those convicted of violent crimes, giving them amnesty and suspending their prison sentences if they agreed to go to war against norway.

bombing hasn’t helped you against hamas. at some point you tiny hats need to understand, you cannot bomb your way out the mess you are in. you live in an islamic neighborhood and need to adapt. israel is a carbon copy of amerikan fools. when a hammer is your only tool, everything looks like a nail. maybe dont bomb consulates next time retard
keep your radical opinions to yourself. you are a radicalized islamist. you have zero understanding of how this universe works. your brain is not capable to do so. so, i suggest that you keep praying to your god without making any changes but one: keep praying harder and louder!
pray to your god that it sends destruction and death to your enemies. really go crazy on that. use your phantasy on that one. really dig deep! just follow these three steps and your wish will come true:
1. think evil, 2. speak evil, 3. do evil.
so, basically continue what you were doing all along, only much harder. thank you for your help :p
