Iran details strategic rationale for ship seizure

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy has seized the container vessel Epaminondas in the Strait of Hormuz region. The IRGC states the ship was detained for ignoring warnings and committing violations, adding that the vessel had made numerous trips to American ports over the past six months. This action is part of escalating tensions in the strategic waterway following a recent US authorization for lethal force against Iranian boats.
