our diplomatic correspondent james landale has this analysis, from jerusalem. president biden has said that he expects an attack against israel from iran sooner rather than later, and unnamed us officials are saying that attack could involve hundreds of drones and missiles against military targets here in israel. now, that may be a prediction of the future based on hard intelligence, but it may also be the united states trying to deter iran to try and minimize any kind of response by talking up the threat right now. it also could be an attempt to try and shape expectations so that if and when iran does respond, it's seen as less escalatory. now, from iran's point of view, it has promised that it will punish israel for the attack on its consulate in damascus, the capital of syria, 12 days ago. but equally iranian ministers have said they do not want to widen the scope of this war. and a massive attack using drones and missiles from iran to israel would indeed do that. there has been an attack on israel this evening, across the border in the north, hezbollah laun

our diplomatic correspondent james landale has the latest. an iranian special forces helicopter has been seen in footage that has been verified by the bbc, hovering over the deck of the ship. you can see one person on the deck, two people climbing down the rope, and iranian state media have been very clear and vocal about attributing that to iranian revolutionary guard naval special forces. in response, israel's foreign minister has accused iran of an act of piracy, and the military spokesman here in israel has said iran will bear the consequences for this escalation. what i think is really interesting about this is that this is a relatively unusual event to happen. if you think about it, most of the stories we've done recently about ship seizures have been on the other side of the iranian peninsula, in the red sea, those have been largely carried out by iranian allies, the houthis in yemen. so this is quite unusual for iranian forces to do this themselves. that is why some analysts believe this could be the start of an incremental response t

our diplomatic correspondent, james landale, has more details. we think this was a straightforward seizure and boarding of a portuguese flagged vessel by the iranian special forces. according to iranian reports, they were iranian revolutionary guard, naval special forces, as we say that it was a helicopter—borne operation. we still don't know if those pictures are of precisely what happened. we think they are. and they boarded the ship. and as you say, it's been diverted to iranian waters. and the key point about this is, although it is a commercial vessel flagged in portugal, the company that actually owns it has a headquarters in london. and the ultimate owners is a very wealthy israeli businessman. so that is what's happened. the company that's managing the ship, msc, is trying to see what it can do to ensure the safety of the crew. we don't know what's happened to them at the moment, but it comes at a very, very sensitive time when people are expecting, certainly here in israel, some kind of iranian attack on israel as a result of that air
