Trump wanted peace talks. Now the U.S. has seized an Iranian ship.

This episode of Apple News Today covers a volatile week in U.S.-Iran relations, marked by the U.S. Navy seizing an Iranian tanker in the Strait of Hormuz amid ongoing efforts to broker peace talks. President Trump announced the interception, claiming the vessel was stopped after ignoring warnings and that U.S. Marines now have custody of it, while Iran threatened retaliation. The move comes as a U.S. delegation prepares for a second round of in-person negotiations in Pakistan, raising questions about whether military action has undermined diplomatic progress. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve faces a leadership crisis as President Trump’s nominee, Kevin Warsh, awaits Senate confirmation—stalled by Republican Senator Tom Tillis, who refuses to support any Fed appointment until a criminal investigation into outgoing Chair Jay Powell is resolved. The standoff threatens a power struggle between the White House and the central bank, with Powell refusing to step down. On the domestic front, the Supreme Court’s invalidation of Trump’s global tariffs has triggered a $150 billion refund process for businesses, though consumers remain excluded.
