Iranian forces seize vessel as Iran Iraq war escalates
Iranian troops boarded the Italian cargo ship Merzario Britannia in the Persian Gulf amid air strikes on Iraqi oil facilities. Lloyds of London reported 10 Iranian nationals boarded the ship, which was sailing from Dammam to Kuwait. Iran also seized a Kuwaiti registered container ship, the Al Wattyah, with 240 containers of general cargo aboard, escorted to an Iranian port after being seized near the Strait of Hormuz. The incident marks a second seizure in the Gulf this week and follows earlier detentions of another United Arab Shipping Co. vessel.
