In a helicopter raid, navy special forces from Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps boarded and seized the MSC Aries, the IRNA news agency reported
Iran captured the MV MSC Aries, boarding the ship off the Straits of Hormuz, a key shipping area. There is a war on the sea and in critical shipping lanes.
The owner and the corporation are Israeli.
Navy special forces from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps used a helicopter to board and seize a container ship, IRNA news reported, adding that the MSC Aries was being transferred to Iranian territorial waters.
Video on the state-owned news network Press TV showed what it said were people using a rope to drop onto the ship. NBC News could not independently verify the footage.

Islam is the religion of peace. Let’s hear for all those 16% out there.
Iran also just launched a bunch of drones toward Israel. Not good.
I though Biden said don’t . . “Don’t?” How pathetic is that!
I remember back when Rush Limbaugh, during his radio show, asked Trump what he would do if Iran decided to misbehave like this. Trump said, “If they (Iran) f*** around, they’ll find out.” Couldn’t believe my ears. Wasn’t even censored. But that’s the difference between Trump and Biden. Our enemies respected Trump and knew not to test him. They laugh at Biden. Welcome to WWIII.
