The United States military is preparing to seize ships linked to Iran in the coming days, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing unnamed US officials.

They said the US military was preparing to expand its naval action against Iran beyond the Middle East and seize tankers and commercial ships linked to Iran in international waters.

The Iranian military, meanwhile, continues to tighten control over the Strait of Hormuz.

Today, it attacked several commercial ships, after stating that "Iran strictly controls Hormuz."

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said earlier that the strait was fully open to commercial traffic, a move quickly welcomed by US President Donald Trump.

Iran's Revolutionary Guard denied Araghchi's claim.
