Saudi fishing boat seized off Bushehr coast

(AhlulBayt News Agency) - Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) has seized a Saudi Arabian fishing vessel off Bushehr coast, a provincial official said on Saturday.

“On board, there were four Indian fishermen who crossed into Iran’s waters,” manager of Bushehr Province Fishery Office Public relations said.

They were arrested and submitted to the judiciary authorities of Bushehr Province, he added.

The event is not uncommon in the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman, due to lack of signs of the shared borders. According to Iran's Ministery of Interior, 17 fishing vessels from the neighboring countries entered Iran’s territorial waters from March 20 to June 5.
