US seizes Iranian-flagged cargo ship near Strait of Hormuz as new talks are in question - AP News
Overview
U.S. forces attacked and seized an Iranian-flagged cargo ship near the Strait of Hormuz after officials said the vessel tried to evade a naval blockade; Iran labeled the action piracy and promised a response. The subsequent disabling of the Gambia-flagged Lian Star indicates U.S. operations are targeting attempts to breach the blockade regardless of a vessel's flag, broadening the scope of interdictions and elevating the chance of retaliatory measures.
