U.S. Blocks Sixth Iranian Ship

U.S. forces intercepted and disabled the Gambia-flagged Lian Star, bringing the total of stopped ships to six since the American blockade began—aimed at crippling Iran’s economy and cutting off funds. The blockade, imposed after Iran shut down the Strait of Hormuz, coincides with a fragile ceasefire and stalled nuclear talks. Global trade in oil, gas, and fertilizers is disrupted, straining economies worldwide. While commercial ships still pass through the strait at reduced volumes, Iran’s imposition of $2 million tolls and threats to security are seen as illegal. The U.S. hasn’t found mines despite Iran’s claims, and no final decision has been made on extending the ceasefire or reopening the strait.
