Iran flaunted its tightened grip over the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday with video of its commandos storming a huge cargo ship, after the collapse of peace talks.

Iranian authorities said they consider the U.S. blockade of the country’s ports as an act of war and a violation of any ceasefire agreement.

The attacks, which Iranian media said were carried out by Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, came after Trump said the U.S. would indefinitely extend the ceasefire.

One of the cargo ships was 'heavily damaged' by Iranian forces, a British maritime agency reported on Wednesday.

Ship traffic in the Strait of Hormuz is still way below normal levels before the war when more than 100 vessels crossed daily.
