Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Wednesday that two vessels were seized in the Strait of Hormuz and transferred to Iranian waters.

Axar.az reports that The IRGC Navy said in a statement that, the vessels were identified as the “MSC-FRANCESCA” and the “EPAMINODES” both of which were operating without authorization, repeatedly violating regulations, and manipulating navigation aid systems in a way that endangered maritime safety.

The statement added that the vessels have now been transferred to Iranian territorial waters for inspection of their cargo, documents, and related records.
