US Navy seizes Iranian cargo ship in Gulf of Oman after firing on its engine room
The USS Spruance intercepted the Iranian-flagged cargo ship Touska in the Gulf of Oman after it attempted to bypass a US naval blockade near the Strait of Hormuz. Trump announced on Sunday that the Navy fired on the ship's engine room after the crew refused warnings to stop, and the vessel was taken into custody. The incident occurred amid broader tensions over Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz and ongoing US-Iran ceasefire negotiations.
