Trump says US Navy attacked and seized Iranian-flagged cargo ship

In the first 24 hours of the U.S. naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, no ships have made it through and six merchant vessels were directed to turn around, according to U.S. Central Command.

More than 10,000 U.S. sailors, marines, and airmen, along with over a dozen warships and dozens of aircraft, are executing the blockade against vessels entering or leaving Iranian ports and coastal areas, according to CENTCOM.

"U.S. forces are supporting freedom of navigation for vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz to and from non-Iranian ports," CENTCOM said.

As energy prices surge, President Donald Trump is urging the United Kingdom to drill oil from the North Sea.

Trump wrote on social media on Monday, “Europe is desperate for Energy, and yet the United Kingdom refuses to open North Sea Oil, one of the greatest fields in the World.”

“Norway sells its North Sea Oil to the U.K. at double the price. They are making a fortune,” Trump wrote. “U.K., which is better situated on the North Sea for purposes of energy than Norway, should, DRILL, BABY, DRILL!!!”

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian spoke with French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday, according to a readout published by the semi-official Tasnim news agency.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran is prepared to continue talks solely within the framework of international laws and regulations and with the aim of protecting the rights of the Iranian people," Pezeshkian told Macron, according to the readout.

Pezeshkian blamed the failure to reach an agreement during weekend talks with the U.S. in Pakistan on "the exaggeration and lack of political will of senior U.S. officials."

"Approaches based on threats, pressure and military action not only do not solve the problem, but also add to the complexity of the issues and will exacerbate the self-created problems of the American side," Pezeshkian said.

The Rich Starry, one of the U.S.-sanctioned tankers that approached the Strait of Hormuz on Monday before turning around, appeared on Tuesday to have successfully transited the waterway, according to data from Kpler-owned ship tracking firm Marine Traffic and Michelle Bockmann, a shipping analyst with the maritime AI company Windward.

The tanker crossed from the Persian Gulf into the Gulf of Oman before appearing to stop just beyond the eastern mouth of the Strait. Several other ships are in the same area and transmitting as being at anchor, according to Marine Traffic.

Elpis, the U.S.-sanctioned tanker that made the crossing on Monday, also appeared to have stalled immediately after its exit at the eastern mouth of the Strait, according to Marine Traffic and Eurasia Group analyst Gregory Brew.

Marine Traffic data and Bockmann indicated that the Murlikishan -- a chemical tanker sanctioned by the U.S. in 2020 for its ties with Iran -- crossed the Strait of Hormuz heading west on Tuesday morning.

The Murlikishan crossed from the Gulf of Oman into the Persian Gulf. The vessel appeared to have already been in the Gulf of Oman when the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz started on Monday.
