U.S. Navy Seizes Iranian Tanker, More Talks In Doubt

from The Fox News Rundown · host FOX News Podcasts

A United States Navy destroyer intercepted an Iranian-flagged cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, firing into its engine room after repeated warnings. Following a six-hour standoff, U.S. Marines then repelled from helicopters onto the ship taking custody of the vessel. President Donald Trump issued Tehran a stern warning, still threatening to 'take out their bridges and power plants' if ongoing peace talks fail, as Iran's new and aggressive hardline IRGC leader consolidates his military control. FOX’s Jonathan Savage speaks with Retired Vice Admiral Robert Harward, Former U.S. CENTCOM Deputy Commander, who says we need to continue to apply this kind of pressure on Iran in order to leverage negotiations.
