The vessel was attempting to make its way past American forces in the Gulf of Oman, the US president has said
The US has seized an Iranian-flagged cargo ship in the Gulf of Oman as it tried to pierce the American naval blockade around Iran, President Donald Trump has announced.
“The US Navy Guided Missile Destroyer USS SPRUANCE intercepted the TOUSKA in the Gulf of Oman, and gave them fair warning to stop,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday.
“The Iranian crew refused to listen, so our Navy ship stopped them right in their tracks by blowing a hole in the engine room.”
