US Navy seizes and fires at Iranian ship during naval blockade
United States President Donald Trump has confirmed the US has taken control of an Iranian cargo vessel after it allegedly attempted to breach a US naval blockade over the weekend.
“We have full custody of their ship and are seeing what’s on board!” he wrote on social media, adding that US forces blew a hole in the vessel’s engine room.
Iran’s state news agency says Iran has vowed a swift response to the US seizure of the Iranian-flagged vessel.
It also reported Iran had rejected new peace talks, citing the ongoing blockade, the US’ shifting positions, and “excessive demands”.
