US forces have intercepted an Iranian-flagged cargo ship in the Gulf, as stated by Donald Trump. The former US president announced on his Truth Social platform that the vessel, identified as the *Touska*, was taken by the US Navy. He indicated this action followed the ship’s alleged failure to respond to a warning to stop.
Iran has strongly condemned the incident, describing it as a “violation of the ceasefire” and an “act of armed piracy.” The nation vowed to retaliate soon.
The United States Central Command (Centcom) has released two videos related to the incident. These videos, which have been combined in a recent edit, reportedly depict different stages of the interception. Centcom stated that one video shows the Iranian ship receiving a warning prior to shots being fired. The second video, according to Centcom, illustrates Marines departing their ship and boarding the Iranian vessel.
