Trump orders Navy to kill

In a dramatic shift in military policy, President Donald Trump has authorized the United States Navy to 'shoot and kill' small Iranian boats obstructing trade through the Strait of Hormuz.

The directive comes amid a tense maritime standoff where Iranian commandos were filmed seizing the MSC Francesca and Epaminondas vessels.

While the White House maintains that a mediated ceasefire remains technically in place, the deployment of Navy mine-clearing divers and the use of lethal force signal a return to active hostilities.

Global energy markets have reacted sharply to the impasse, with Brent crude prices surging past $100 per barrel as traffic through the world's most vital energy chokepoint remains frozen.
