Iranian forces seized a U.S. cargo vessel, Saudi-owned Arabiya television reported, without saying where it obtained the information.

Iranian forces took the vessel to the Persian Gulf port of Bandar Abbas, the Dubai-based television station said. The vessel carried at least 24 people on board, it said. The Iranians opened fire at the vessel before escorting it, Arabiya said.
