Iran's Revolutionary Guards seized an Israeli-linked cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, the Iranian state-run IRNA news agency reported, days after Tehran warned it could close the area to sea traffic.
IRNA reported that a Guards helicopter had boarded and taken into Iranian waters the Portuguese flagged MSC Aries.
Shipping security agencies had earlier reported a vessel being boarded and seized by "regional authorities" in the Strait of Hormuz between the United Arab Emirates and Iran.
