This morning dramatic video aired by state TV shows Iranian forces seizing two cargo ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
Masked soldiers climbing the deck, searching this ship long guns at the ready.
These scenes playing out one day after President Trump extended his ceasefire with Iran indefinitely.
I think what we're seeing from the regime, it feels emboldened by this indefinite extension.
It feels it can just wait out President Trump while the damage ramps up to the world economy.
And if you look historically it's managed to sustain the economic impact of severe sanctions for many years and he's likely to do so once again.
The White House downplaying Iran's actions saying the seizure of those ships does not violate the ceasefire.
These were not US ships.
These were not Israeli ships.
These were two international vessels.
Cargo ships and oil tankers are now waiting just outside the Strait of Hormuz unable to pass in the face of Iran's threats.
An officer on one tanker tells us they won't move without safety guarantees.
I honestly cannot say what is worse.
If it's the standing by here waiting and hoping not to get hit.
Um or the uncertainty of not knowing if the strait is open or closed.
According to the Washington Post, the Pentagon has suggested it could take six months to clear mines from the strait.
Analysts already calling this the biggest energy crisis in history.
And now, in the midst of this naval conflict, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has fired the Secretary of the Navy without explanation.
There had reportedly been tension with Hegseth in recent months.
Meanwhile, despite repeated assurances from President Trump that Iran's military force has been depleted, the head of the US Defense Intelligence Agency says Iran retains thousands of missiles and one-way attack drones that can threaten US and partner forces throughout the region.
Another sign of uncertainty with peace talks stalled and the world watching.
And Iran has suggested that it will not return to the negotiating table until that US blockade on Iranian ports is lifted.
President Trump says that blockade scares Iran more than the bombing.
