19.04.2026The Day the U.S. Navy Seized an Iranian Ship

Evening reporting shifted decisively to a new maritime confrontation, with multiple outlets covering the U.S. Navy shooting and seizing an Iranian container ship attempting to breach the blockade, making this the dominant story that overshadowed other developments like the activation of the national oil crisis plan.
