US forces have intercepted an Iranian-flagged cargo ship<\/b> 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.<\/p>\n

Iran<\/b> has strongly condemned the incident, describing it as a “violation of the ceasefire”<\/b> and an “act of armed piracy.” The nation vowed to retaliate soon.<\/p>\n

The United States Central Command (Centcom)<\/b> 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.<\/p>\n
