Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy seized the Panama-flagged MSC Francesca and Liberia-flagged Epaminondas in the “Strait of Hormuz”, accusing them of operating without authorization and tampering with navigation systems, while firing on a third vessel, the Euphoria. The incident occurred hours after “U.S. President Donald Trump” extended the “ceasefire with Iran for 3-5 days to allow unified negotiations”. The seizures took place amid ongoing U.S.-Iran diplomatic efforts mediated by Pakistan in Islamabad.
