What was the Iranian ship seized by US carrying? Report claims 'dual-use' cargo
US naval forces intercepted an Iranian-flagged cargo vessel, the Touska, in the Gulf of Oman, suspecting it carries "dual-use" items.
The ship, linked to sanctioned IRISL, was boarded after failing to respond to warnings and operating in violation of a U.S. blockade.
Iran condemned the action as "armed piracy."
