The Saudi Navy has reportedly detained three members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) from a boat seized on Friday evening. The boat allegedly approached Saudi Arbia’s offshore Marjan oilfield in an attempt to target it.
“This was one of three vessels which were intercepted by Saudi forces. It was captured with the three men on board; the other two escaped,” the Saudi Information Ministry statement said on Monday. “The three captured members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard are now being questioned by Saudi authorities.”
