Ships seized by Iranians 'armed to the teeth' along Strait of Hormuz have been taken toward port: report

Iranian forces seized two container ships, MSC Francesca and Epaminondas, in the Strait of Hormuz, accusing them of operating without authorization and tampering with navigation systems. The ships were taken toward Bandar Abbas, with 40 crew members under Iranian control but reported to be treated well. Tensions escalate amid recent U.S. seizure of an Iranian cargo ship, Touska, and ongoing U.S. enforcement of a blockade in the region.
