Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has seized two vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, including one bound for India, and is reportedly taking them to Iranian waters. The IRGC claimed the ships were “violating” maritime rules, though details remain unclear. The incident comes amid heightened tensions in the region, with ongoing US-Iran conflict, naval blockades, and repeated attacks on commercial shipping. The seizure highlights growing risks to global trade and energy routes, particularly for India, which relies heavily on oil shipments through the strait, raising concerns over safety and further escalation in the region.
