Iran Seizes Another 'Floating Armoury' in a Region Where Security Fades Fast The Iranian military has seized another "floating armoury" in the Gulf of Oman, where piracy and terrorism have long plagued shipping lanes.
The Honduras flagged Hui Chuan was taken into custody 70km north east of Fujairah in the UAE on Wednesday.
This incident is part of a disturbing trend: over the past few years, several "floating armouries" have been seized or impounded by regional powers.
