Iranian Revolutionary Guard Seizes Container Ship Linked to Israel Near Strait of Hormuz

There have been multiple reports of escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, with Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) seizing a Portuguese-flagged vessel, the MSC Aries, which was reportedly linked to Israel. The seizure came after Iran warned of retaliation for a suspected Israeli strike on an Iranian consulate in Syria that killed 12 people. Israeli forces are bracing for a potential attack from Iran and have increased their readiness to defend against aggression.
