WW3 TINDERBOX Chilling moment Iran’s Revolutionary Guards scale down helicopter & seize Israeli-linked ship as IDF vows ‘consequences’
THIS is the chilling moment Iran's Revolutionary Guards sneakily scale down from a hovering helicopter to seize an Israeli-linked ship.
The daring raid from the paramilitary group is the latest tit-for-tat move in the fierce waging Middle Eastern war as the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) vow there will be "consequences" for Iran.
It comes as the world waits to see how Iran will respond to a missile strike that eliminated several top brass Tehran commanders, on April 1.
Iran has blamed Israel with 100 per cent certainty despite Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denying having any involvement.
Iran’s state-run IRNA announced today that a special forces unit successfully carried out the attack on the Portuguese-flagged MSC Aries.
The Aries is a container ship associated with London-based Zodiac Maritime - part of Israeli billionaire Eyal Ofer’s Zodiac Group.
The group is yet to make any statement on the attack.
The ship had 25 crew members on board as the helicopter terrifyingly descended on the vessel that was near the Strait of Hormuz.
IRNA said the vessel would be taken into Iranian territorial waters.
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz called on the world to label the Guard as a terrorist organisation after the attack.

As the US warned a strike is imminent and serious.
The UK has responded to the potential escalation of war by sending the Royal Marines out to the Middle East to prepare a heroic "Dunkirk-esque" evacuation plan to rescue remaining trapped Brits.
How Iran's attack can impact the world
Iran already sees the US and the UK as its two main enemies outside of the Middle East.
Ever since the October 7, Hamas massacre, both states have fully supported Israel in their reactionary strikes and shunned Iran and their proxies.
Iran’s closest allies include the Houthis, in Yemen have been attacking British and US ships in the red sea and pro-Iranian militias in Iraq and Syria have also been condemned for their actions.
Top US generals are in constant contact with Israel to coordinate Washington’s military responses.
As British intelligence agents regularly share information with the Israelis about potential threats.
And any further attacks could not only spell devastating civilian casualties but also batter the economic market.
An all-out war between Israel and Iran will spike oil and natural gas prices.
Other major oil producers, such as from south Iraq to Saudi Arabia and the UAE, will also be at risk.
Because of the UK sanctions on Russian oil and gas exports after Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, Middle Eastern energy supplies have become more important than ever for the European economies
