An India-bound ship was among two vessels seized by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard while transiting the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, amid looming uncertainty about the US-Iran ceasefire and proposed peace talks. In total, three container ships, including the one which was headed to India, were attacked by Iran’s security forces in the Strait. All three containers crossed the Strait of Hormuz from the Persian Gulf, and two of them did not relay information about their location, destination and port of origin while crossing the waterway, ship-tracking data suggests. Iran’s state media and the BBC identified the three container ships as Liberia-flagged Epaminondas, and Panama-flagged MSC Francesca and Euphoria.
