Overnight, CENTCOM announced that US forces seized an Iranian-flagged cargo ship in the Gulf of Oman after it tried to breach the naval blockade. 
President Trump announced the seizure on Truth Social overnight saying, "The Iranian crew refused to listen, so our navy ship stopped them right in their tracks by blowing a hole in the engine room. 
Right now, US Marines have custody of the vessel. 
The ship remains in US custody." 
Here's what it sounded like when the guided missile destroyer USS Spruance warned the cargo ship before firing. 
Vessel Chousan, motor vessel Chousan, vacate your engine room. 
Vacate your engine room. 
We're prepared to subject you to disabling fire. 
At least two dozen At least two dozen other vessels were turned around over the weekend complying with US orders. 
The incident came 24 hours after Iran's IRGC fired on two vessels trying to pass through the Strait of Hormuz in violation of the ceasefire. 
Now, the question remains if a broader agreement will be reached this week. 
The ceasefire is set to expire in less than 48 hours. 
I spoke with President Trump over the weekend who told me, "If the deal isn't done, the deal that we made, then I'm going to take out their bridges and their power plants." 
He went on to say, "If they don't sign this thing, the whole country is going to get blown up." 
Now, Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson today had a press conference saying the Iranians have not yet agreed to talks on Tuesday and that they are currently reviewing US proposals.
