Iran Seizes Tanker as US Disables Ships in Gulf of Oman

Iran seized the Barbados-registered oil tanker Ocean Koi in the Gulf of Oman, while the United States disabled two Iranian-flagged tankers in the Gulf of Oman. This escalation broke a temporary ceasefire, with US President Trump downplaying the exchange. Iran is awaiting a formal response from the US regarding a ceasefire proposal and has announced new maritime regulations to control the Strait of Hormuz.
