Iran released video showing naval commandos seizing cargo ships in the Strait of Hormuz, a forceful assertion that has disrupted shipping and strained the fragile truce. A recently attacked Indian-flagged vessel was taken toward Iranian waters, consistent with the seizure footage and raising concern about coordinated operations. President Trump has remained largely silent about his next move even as U.S. forces maintain a blockade and warn Iran against further disruption; Trump and China’s Xi have publicly said the strait must remain open, increasing diplomatic pressure. The incident — reported alongside the arrest of two Israeli air force technicians accused of spying for Iran — raises regional tensions and complicates efforts to restore regular maritime traffic and calm markets.
