US SEIZES IRANIAN SHIP IN STRAIT OF HORMUZ

President Trump announced that the US targeted and seized an Iranian ship amid escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian gunboats fired on a tanker, prompting US Navy blockades of Iranian ports and threats over the vital shipping route. Conflicting messages and stalled ceasefire negotiations heighten fears of broader conflict. This follows severe weather in the Midwest and a Kiev mass shooting, but the Hormuz crisis disrupts global oil flows most urgently.
