A video seen by The Associated Press shows commandos raiding a ship near the Strait of Hormuz from a helicopter. A Middle East defense official attributed the attack to Iran amid wider tensions between Tehran and the West. The video showed the attack earlier reported by the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations. It had offered no details about the boarding in the Gulf of Oman off the Emirati port city of Fujairah. The defense official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters, shared the video with the AP. Though the AP could not immediately verify it, it corresponded to known details of the boarding.
