US Navy seizes Iranian ship

The US military has taken full custody of an Iranian container ship following a high-stakes confrontation in the Strait of Hormuz.

President Trump claimed the vessel ignored repeated warnings to stop, leading a US Navy destroyer to fire upon the ship's engine room.

This escalation occurs as the strategic waterway remains effectively closed to most commercial traffic, heightening global energy concerns.

Tehran has condemned the action as a failed operation and a violation of international maritime law.
