Iran seizes cargo ships in Strait of Hormuz

Iranian naval forces have reportedly attacked and seized several large cargo vessels attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz. The incident follows President Donald Trump's extension of a ceasefire regime in the region, which appears to have been met with an escalation by Iran. The seizure marks a significant new phase of direct Iranian action against commercial shipping in the critical chokepoint. Details on the number of vessels and their flags are still emerging.
