Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The naval forces of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) seized the commercial ship MSC Aries in the Strait of Hormuz, the Iranian state agency IRNA reports.

According to the Associated Press, the Portuguese-flagged vessel is associated with London-based Zodiac Maritime, which is part of Israeli billionaire Eyal Ofer's Zodiac Group.



As a representative of the Ministry of Defense of one of the Middle Eastern countries noted to the agency, the ship was attacked by Iranian forces.

As Regnum reported, on April 3 it became known that the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) warned of a possible Iranian response to the attack on its consulate in Damascus.

The intelligence service said that Tehran intends to attack Israeli territory with hundreds of unmanned aerial vehicles and missiles within 48 hours. Against this background, Israel put its troops on alert.

Israeli aircraft launched a missile attack on the Iranian Consulate General in Damascus on April 1. The building was completely destroyed. Iran's Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, Zahra Ershadi, said that because of this, the exact number of victims remains unknown.

Among the dead were two generals of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) - Mohammad Reza Zahedi and Mohammad Hadi Haji. In addition, five more representatives of this military formation were killed in the strike.
