U.S. naval forces intercepted and seized the Iranian-flagged cargo ship Touska in the Gulf of Oman after its crew refused warnings to halt amid a U.S. naval blockade near the Strait of Oman. The USS Spruance disabled the vessel by blowing a hole in its engine room, allowing U.S. Marines to take custody for inspection. President Trump commented on the incident via Truth Social, while broader context including the blockade's targets and ship history remains disputed.
