Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) said on Friday that they had seized a foreign ship in Persian Gulf waters loaded with what they described as smuggled diesel, the state news agency IRNA reported.

According to the report, a public relations official for the organization said the ship's seven crew have been detained.

It wasn’t clear when the ship was seized. Its origin and the nationality of the crew was also not clear.

Last week, Iran announced its seizure of a foreign boat carrying over 220,000 liters of smuggled fuel and the arrest of its 11 crew members, without giving further details.
