World War Video: War videos from around the wor - The Chronicles

Naval forces of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have released footage showing the interception and boarding of two container ships belonging to European shipping giant MSC in the Strait of Hormuz. The video is filmed from multiple angles, including aerial drone shots and onboard footage from the boarding team, providing a detailed view of the operation. The release appears aimed at demonstrating control over the strategic waterway.

US Marines conducted a boarding operation on the sanctioned tanker Tifani in the Indian Ocean, in a move aimed at tightening enforcement against vessels linked to Iran. The 330-meter tanker was reportedly carrying around 2 million barrels of oil loaded earlier this month on Iran’s Kharg Island. According to tracking data, the vessel passed Dondra Head on April 19 and entered Southeast Asian waters on April 20, after which US forces boarded the ship.

Clashes have reportedly broken out in the city of Suwayda between Druze militias and forces aligned with Syria’s new authorities. The escalation follows large-scale protests in the city, where residents demanded a break from Damascus and greater autonomy. According to available information, tensions had been rising after demonstrations intensified. Earlier, some representatives of the Druze community had also reportedly appealed to Israel regarding the status of their areas and future security arrangements.

Israel carried out its largest attack on Lebanon since the beginning of the war, delivering more than 100 strikes on various targets. In Beirut, residents are recording extensive destruction, including heavily damaged multi-story buildings.

Another container ship reportedly attempted to transit the Strait of Hormuz without coordinating passage with Iranian authorities. According to media reports, the vessel was sailing under the Pakistani flag. The incident comes amid tightened Iranian control over the strategic waterway, where ships are increasingly required to obtain prior authorization before crossing. Regional tensions have already disrupted shipping traffic, with several vessels being turned back or delaying transit as security risks rise in one of the world’s most critical maritime chokepoints.
