US Navy seizes Iranian cargo ship near Hormuz

The US military has seized an Iranian-flagged container ship called the Touska after it attempted to breach an American naval blockade near the Strait of Hormuz, with Trump announcing the vessel "did not go well" when it ignored warning shots. Iran has condemned the action as "armed piracy" and vowed retaliation, raising stakes in an already volatile standoff as a second round of US-Iran talks looms. A senior Iranian politician told the BBC that Tehran will never cede control of the Strait of Hormuz, the chokepoint through which roughly 20% of global oil passes.
