Amid ongoing nuclear negotiations with Iran, US officials have explored the possibility of seizing tankers carrying Iranian oil to increase pressure on Tehran, though fears of retaliation and disruptions to global markets have made such action uncertain, the Wall Street Journal reports. The White House describes these measures as part of a broader set of options, with a spokesperson noting that President Trump "prefers diplomacy" but keeps "multiple options at his disposal" if the discussions do not yield a resolution.
