Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Oil Prices Jump After Trump Says Iranian Ship Seized
Caption: Oil Prices Jump After Trump Says Iranian Ship Seized. Oil prices have surged after Donald Trump said US forces had intercepted and seized an Iranian-flagged cargo ship. Global benchmark Brent crude rose more than 6%, reversing earlier losses after renewed tensions around the Strait of Hormuz. Iran had briefly signalled the key shipping route would remain open during a ceasefire, but later warned it would target vessels approaching the strait. The waterway is critical to global energy supply, with around a fifth of the world’s oil and gas passing through it. Markets have been highly volatile since the conflict escalated, with prices reacting sharply to developments and political statements. While new talks are being discussed, uncertainty remains high, keeping pressure on global energy markets. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
