Alwaght- The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) have seized a foreign ship in Persian Gulf waters for smuggling diesel.
“A foreign ship carrying smuggled diesel was seized,” Iran’s state broadcaster quoted Col Ahmad Hajian, commander of the Naval Type 412 Zulfaqar, as saying.
“After inspection, more than 150,000 liters of smuggled diesel were discovered,” he added.
Hajian said the ship’s 11 crew members were detained for interrogation. He did not provide the ship’s nationality or details on when it was seized.
To protect Iran’s economy, Hajian said, his unit would “deal decisively” with fuel smuggling in the sea.
