2. Iran seized two oil tankers in the Persian Gulf, the British government said, the latest move in three months of escalating tensions with the West.

Britain’s foreign secretary said that the Iranian authorities had seized “a British-flagged vessel and a Liberian-flagged vessel” in the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran’s supreme leader has ruled out any dealings with the Trump administration. But some Iranian officials, including its former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, say it’s time to resolve 40 years of animosity with the U.S.
