Iranian Revolutionary Guards Seize Commercial Ship in Persian Gulf, US Navy Refrains from Interference

The Iranian Revolutionary Guards have seized a commercial ship in the Persian Gulf, according to the US Navy. This comes after the US Navy accused Iranian forces of two similar attempts off Oman. The US Navy chose not to intervene in the seizure, stating that the circumstances did not warrant further response. In recent years, there have been multiple incidents in the Gulf waterways between the US and Iran, which are crucial for global oil trade. Talks to revive the Iran nuclear deal remain stalled but have recently resumed with Oman as an intermediary.
