British Military Warns of Possible 'State Activity' After Ship Diverted into Iranian Waters
DUBAI — The British military has warned that possible 'state activity' may have influenced a vessel that altered course and entered Iranian waters, the Associated Press reported.
The military statement provided limited detail but said the ship's unexpected change of course and its entry into Iranian territorial waters raised concerns about deliberate interference. British and regional authorities are monitoring the situation while inquiries continue to establish what happened and whether any actors intentionally affected the vessel's navigation.
The incident underscores persistent maritime security risks in the Gulf and wider Middle East. Shipping companies, navies and international agencies have been urged to coordinate closely to protect commercial vessels, crew safety and the free flow of maritime traffic.
