Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Navy seized two vessels for what it described as maritime violations and transferred them to Iranian shores, semi-official Tasnim news agency reported on Wednesday. In a statement, the Guards said the ships, which they identified as the MSC Francesca and the Epaminodes, were detained for “operating without the required authorisation and for manipulating navigation systems”, adding that this endangered maritime safety.
