US seizes Iranian cargo vessel in Gulf of Oman

US armed forces have seized an Iranian cargo vessel in the Gulf of Oman after it attempted to break a maritime blockade, President Donald Trump said on Truth Social.

“The U.S. Navy Guided Missile Destroyer USS SPRUANCE intercepted the TOUSKA in the Gulf of Oman, and gave them fair warning to stop. The Iranian crew refused to listen, so our Navy ship stopped them right in their tracks by blowing a hole in the engineroom. 

Right now, U.S. Marines have custody of the vessel. The TOUSKA is under U.S. Treasury Sanctions because of their prior history of illegal activity. We have full custody of the ship, and are seeing what’s on board!” Trump wrote.
