Trump orders 'shoot and kill'

The naval standoff in the Persian Gulf has reached a dangerous new phase following President Trump's aggressive social media directive to military commanders.

U.S. forces have reportedly increased minesweeping operations to a 'tripled-up level' to clear the waterway of Iranian explosives.

Meanwhile, the U.S. military has seized an Iranian-flagged oil tanker in the Indian Ocean as part of a broader blockade strategy.

This 'mosquito fleet' tactic by Iran continues to disrupt global energy supplies, pushing crude prices above $105 per barrel.
