US Seizes Iranian Vessel
The US military intercepted and boarded the container ship Touska, alleging it attempted to breach the naval blockade of Iranian ports.
President Trump confirmed the seizure, stating that the vessel is now in full US custody as the ceasefire deadline nears.
Iranian officials have accused Washington of violating the existing two-week truce, casting doubt on upcoming peace talks.
This maritime confrontation has triggered a sharp rise in global oil prices as shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains at a standstill.
