Tensions are rising again in the Strait of Hormuz , a key global shipping route. Iranian state TV aired images of Revolutionary Guard forces seizing two container ships, saying they lacked permits and threatened maritime security. A third vessel was reportedly fired on. Montenegro confirmed four of its sailors are on one ship. The US says it seized an oil tanker linked to Iranian smuggling and is maintaining a naval blockade of Iranian ports. Washington warns the strait could remain disrupted for months.
