US marines have seized the Iranian cargo ship Touska in a dramatic helicopter raid. It's the first vessel captured since Washington imposed a naval blockade on Iranian ports . US President Donald Trump blamed the crew for ignoring US Navy warnings, saying the ship is now in US custody. Tehran has condemned the seizure as maritime piracy and a breach of a ceasefire agreed on April 7. As tensions escalate and talks stall, uncertainty is driving global oil prices higher.
