Strait of Hormuz Crisis: Iran-US Standoff Deepens After Ship Seizure and Drone Attacks

US President Donald Trump stated that the United States had seized an Iranian commercial vessel that attempted to break a blockade in the Gulf of Oman. According to him, the US Navy guided-missile destroyer USS Spruance intercepted the vessel Touska and issued a warning demanding it stop. The White House chief added that the Iranian crew refused to comply, after which the American warship disabled the vessel by breaching its engine room. US Marines are currently in control of the ship, Trump said.
