Iran is suspected of launching a helicopter raid on a ship near the Strait of Hormuz, as shown in a video obtained by the Associated Press. The vessel, likely the Portuguese-flagged MSC Aries associated with Zodiac Maritime, was targeted amid escalating tensions between Iran and the West. Commandos rappelled onto the ship's deck, prompting crew members to seek refuge. While Iran has not confirmed the incident, it follows a pattern of maritime aggression attributed to Tehran. The Strait of Hormuz, a vital oil shipping route, remains a focal point in the ongoing geopolitical standoff.
