Iran’s Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) has reportedly seized two cargo vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, identified in multiple reports as MSC Francesca and Epaminondes. The dramatic operation comes amid escalating U.S.-Iran tensions and has raised fresh concerns over security in one of the world’s most important oil transit routes.

The Strait of Hormuz handles a major share of global energy shipments, and any disruption there can quickly impact oil prices, shipping insurance, and international trade. Markets and governments are now closely watching the next moves in the Gulf as fears of a wider crisis grow.
