Iran Seizes Cargo Ship in Strait of Hormuz After Threats to Close Waterway

April 13th, 2024

Months ago, I called these low probability scenarios:

1) If the Strait of Hormuz somehow winds up closed/blocked.

2) If Saudi Aramco’s deep water port at Ras Tanura somehow winds up closed/destroyed.

And now…

Via: Reuters:

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards seized an Israeli-linked cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, days after Tehran said it could close the crucial shipping route and warned it would retaliate for an Israeli strike on its Syria consulate.

Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency reported that a Guards helicopter had boarded and taken into Iranian waters the Portuguese flagged MSC Aries, saying it was linked to Israel.
