Iran strikes ammunition depots and bases in Iraq, as well as a ship in the Strait of Hormuz

Tensions in the Middle East have escalated after Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) reportedly detained a ship passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

According to the Iranian Tasnim news agency, citing an informed source, Iranian forces have intercepted a Thai-flagged ship after it allegedly ignored warnings and attempted to pass through the waterway without authorization.

Meanwhile, other reports indicate that Iran has carried out attacks on ammunition depots and military bases in northern Iraq.

Images posted on social media show explosions and fires in the affected areas.

So far there are no full details on the damage or the exact targets of the attacks, writes skynews.

The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the most strategic maritime transport points in the world, as a significant portion of global oil supplies passes through it.

Any military incident in this area raises concerns about the security of energy markets and international navigation.

The latest developments come at a time of high tensions between Iran and its regional and international adversaries, with the international community closely monitoring the situation. /Telegraph/
