US Seizes Iranian Ship 'Touska' in Gulf of Oman, Trump Claims
President Donald Trump stated that the USS Spruance, a U.S. Navy guided missile destroyer, disabled the Iranian-flagged cargo ship *Touska* after its crew allegedly refused warnings. U.S. Marines have taken custody of the vessel, which is reportedly under U.S. Treasury sanctions. This action follows a broader U.S. naval blockade of ships entering and exiting Iranian ports. The incident escalates tensions after Iran reportedly fired upon commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz earlier in the week.
