🇺🇸 🇮🇷 ⚡️ — BREAKING: US Navy intercepts three Iranian-flagged oil tankers in Asian waters, redirecting them away from the Strait of Hormuz amid ongoing tensions and mine-clearing efforts.

🔴 US forces have seized multiple Iranian vessels, including the Deep Sea, Sevin, and Dorena tankers, and are preventing them from exiting the Gulf. The US Central Command confirmed the Dorena was escorted by a Navy destroyer after attempting to violate the blockade.

🔴 Pentagon estimates mine-clearing in the Strait of Hormuz could take six months, prompting the US to target Iranian ships in open waters to avoid mine threats. The closure of the strait has disrupted global oil supplies and intensified the energy crisis.

🇮🇷 🇺🇸 ⚡️ — NEW: Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has released video showing its forces seizing a container ship in the Strait of Hormuz. The vessel was one of two captured by Iran on Wednesday.

🔴 The video, obtained by Al Jazeera, appears to show IRGC commandos boarding the ship, which was reportedly traveling under a Panamanian flag. Iran has not disclosed the identity of the ship’s owners or its cargo, but the move is seen as a direct challenge to Western shipping interests in the strategically vital waterway.

🔴 The seizure comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and the United States, with Iran accusing the U.S. of escalating hostilities in the region. The incident has drawn immediate condemnation from Washington, which has warned of potential retaliatory measures.

🔴 The strait, a critical trade artery carrying 20% of the world’s oil before the war, is now subject to U.S. and Iranian blockades, raising concerns over long-term economic impacts and potential effects on U.S. midterm elections.
