Iran tightens control of Hormuz after US calls off renewed attacks

The Revolutionary Guard said the vessels lacked permits and tampered with navigation systems, and no crew injuries were reported.

  • Iran seized two ships in the Strait of Hormuz, tightening its control over the strategic waterway after U.S. President Donald Trump announced he was indefinitely calling off attacks, with no indication that peace talks would resume.
  • The status of a two-week-old ceasefire, which was due to expire earlier in the week, remained unclear amid rising uncertainty in the region.
  • In a sudden reversal, Trump extended the ceasefire hours after threatening renewed violence, saying the U.S. would first discuss an Iranian proposal in peace talks aimed at ending the two-month-long conflict.
