Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps seized the Honduras-flagged Hui Chuan, a vessel operating as a floating armory for private maritime security companies, approximately 38 nautical miles northeast of the UAE's Fujairah oil terminal on May 14, 2026. The seizure — the latest in a string of ship detentions since Iran declared control over the Strait of Hormuz in March — introduces a new dimension to the crisis by targeting the opaque, largely unregulated network of weapons-storage ships that supply anti-piracy guards across the Indian Ocean.
