The United States has captured an Iranian cargo ship that was trying to pass through a naval blockade near the Strait of Hormuz. This incident happened yesterday and is the first time a ship has been seized since the blockade started last week.
According to reports, a U.S. military ship warned the Iranian vessel, named Touska, to stop. However, the ship did not follow the instructions. Because of this, the U.S. Navy took action and disabled the ship by damaging its engine room, which stopped it from moving.
After the ship was brought under control, U.S. Marines boarded it and took full control of the vessel. No further details have been shared about the crew or what was on board.
Donald Trump announced the incident on social media, confirming that the operation had taken place.
So far, Iran has not made any official statement about the capture of the ship.
This event highlights the growing tension in the region, especially around the Strait of Hormuz, which is an important route for global oil shipments.
