Iran Seizes Ships in Hormuz as US Extends Ceasefire Talks

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Navy says it seized two container ships in the Strait of Hormuz for maritime violations and transferred them ashore, as reports of attacks on other vessels surface and the U.S. extends its ceasefire to pursue renewed peace talks; UKMTO warns of high activity in the area and crews on the attacked ships are reported safe. The incident comes as crude prices hover around $99–100 per barrel, underscoring ongoing volatility in global shipping and energy markets.
