US Boards Iranian Oil Ship; Trump Orders Forces to Target Mine-Laying Vessels in Strait of Hormuz
US forces boarded a sanctioned vessel carrying Iranian oil in the Indian Ocean, part of an ongoing blockade on Iranian maritime traffic. President Trump has concurrently issued orders for the US Navy to target any vessels deploying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping lane. These actions follow US and Israeli strikes on Iran in February, which initiated the current conflict and killed Iran's Supreme Leader.
