Iran's navy said it has seized two cargo ships in the Strait of Hormuz and taken them to the country's coast after reports that three vessels came under fire from Iranian forces.
Nour News, a website affiliated with Iran's Supreme National Security Council, said the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) opened fire on the first ship, the Epaminodes, after it had "ignored the warnings of the Iranian armed forces".
A second ship, named Euphoria, was then stopped after being "fired upon", followed by the targeting of a third vessel, the MSC-Francesca, according to BBC Verify.
IRGC-affiliated outlet Fars News Agency said the Revolutionary Guard was behind the attacks.

Thanks to their large loading capacity, they can take longer cables on board in a single piece and bridge longer distances with as few subsea cable connections as possible.
Compared to other cable-laying vessels on the market, they therefore also need
