       The ship attacked by Iran's Revolutionary Guards is in Iranian
       waters.
       In Iranian waters and at a distance of about 200 kilometers from its last
       position, the ship that had been attacked and seized by the Iranian
       Revolutionary Guards was located.
       
       The BBC reports that the container ship MSC Aries was spotted in
       Iranian waters more than 120 miles (195 km) from its last reported
       position.
       It is recalled that the ship has a Portuguese flag, but is of Israeli interest.
       Three days ago, its last recorded position was about 50 miles (80
       kilometers) off the coast of the United Arab Emirates and bound
       for India. The data transponder had been disabled, however this is
       standard practice for ships associated with Israel sailing in the
       region.
       The takeover incident took place on Saturday, just hours before Iran
       attacked Israel with hundreds of drones and missiles.
       On Sunday, the ship was spotted near two Iranian islands in the Strait of
       Hormuz, in satellite images released by the website
       Tankertrackers.com. BBC Verify believes the ship in the images matches
       the length and features of the MSC Aries.
       The 25 crew members (mostly Indians) are believed to be still on
       board. The Indian government says it has contacted Iran to
       express its concern about their situation.
