A vessel reportedly operating as a "floating armoury" in the Gulf of Oman has been seized by Iranian military personnel, according to the maritime risk management company Vanguard.

The ship is now "bound for Iranian territorial waters", the UK's Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) organisation said.

BBC Verify has checked ship-tracking data from MarineTraffic which shows the vessel - identified by Vanguard as the Honduras-flagged Hui Chuan - last broadcast its location 70km (40 miles) north-east of Fujairah in the UAE on Wednesday.

Hui Chuan's operators told Vanguard it was operating as a floating armoury which stores weapons for security firms who protect ships at sea from attack by pirates.

What about Trump who is hijacking the stock markets with his absurd tweets on the war that America is loosing by not taking full scale action. What a humiliation to see cheap home made drones of Iran, keeping the American Army, Navy an Air Force at bay. The world is laughing in seeing America or France using missiles worth 500'000 $ if not more, to attempt shoot down a drone worth a few hundred bucks. But no surprise after the humiliations America has got in Vietnam, Afghanisthan and other large scale wars.
