On April 19, 2026, US forces seized an Iranian-flagged cargo ship near the Hormuz Strait, marking a significant escalation in regional tensions.

In response to this incident, President Trump issued a warning to Iran, threatening to destroy critical infrastructure, including bridges and power plants, should Tehran reject a proposed peace agreement.
