Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Wednesday that two vessels were seized in the Strait of Hormuz and transferred to Iranian waters.

“The ships were allegedly operating without proper authorization, repeatedly violating regulations, and manipulating navigation systems, thereby endangering maritime safety while attempting to exit the Strait of Hormuz covertly,” the IRGC said in a statement carried on Iran’s state-run television (IRIB), adding that the vessels were intercepted and were “stopped in line with what was described as protecting Iran’s national rights.”

Iranian media said that a third vessel, a Greek-owned ship, was also reportedly targeted by the IRGC and is “now disabled off Iran’s coast.”

There has been no independent confirmation of the seizures, but the UK Maritime Traffic Organization (UKMTO) earlier said two container ships had been fired on.
