Iranian state media has recently released **footage** that appears to depict members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) engaged in the boarding of two cargo ships within the strategic **Strait of Hormuz**. The video content shows **small boats** carrying individuals described as masked and armed, approaching the vessels identified as the *MSC Francesca* and the *Epaminondas*.
Analysis Raises Questions About Footage Timing
Further examination by BBC Verify suggests that certain segments of the video may have been recorded several hours subsequent to initial reports of the ships being taken by Iranian forces. This discrepancy in timing has drawn attention to the sequence of events surrounding the incident.
