The Iranian coast guard captured four Saudi Arabian sailors after they had entered Iran’s territorial waters in the Persian Gulf. The Saudi vessel was also seized, according to state media in Tehran.
The Saudi Arabian crew is now being interrogated although no further hostilities were reported between the two rival Muslim countries on Friday.
Riyadh is yet to respond to the incident and it may choose to respond with force.
Last month, Saudi Arabian warships waged fire on several non-military Iranian vessels in the same waters, leading to the untimely death of one fisherman.
