Washington | Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps seized a British oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz amid soaring tensions in one of the world's critical energy chokepoints. Brent climbed more than 1.3 per cent on the news.
US President Donald Trump told reporters at the White House that he will be "working with the UK" on the incident. "This only goes to show what I'm saying about Iran: trouble, nothing but trouble."
