The Guards did not confirm whether the vessel they detained on Sunday in the strategic Strait of Hormuz was the same ship as that mentioned on Tuesday by the foreign ministry. “Iranian forces approached it and using a tugboat brought it into Iranian waters for necessary repairs,” foreign ministry spokesperson Abbas Mousavi said.
London said three Iranian vessels had attempted to “impede the passage” of a British oil tanker in Gulf waters, forcing its warship HMS Montrose to intervene.
