UK Defence Secretary Grant Shapps has publicly condemned Iran's seizure of the 'Israeli-linked' cargo ship MSC Aries in international waters, calling it a 'blatant violation of international law' and demanding its 'unconditional release' along with its crew. The incident, occurring in the Strait of Hormuz, has drawn international attention, with Shapps emphasizing the need to work with partners to prevent escalation in the Middle East. The White House and the U.S. Security Council have also voiced their condemnation, demanding the immediate release of the ship, which has been identified as British. This unified stance underscores the serious implications of the seizure on international maritime security and law.
