US Marines Seize Iranian Ship
U.S. Central Command released footage showing helicopter-borne Marines taking control of the M/V Touska after it allegedly attempted to evade the Strait of Hormuz blockade.
President Donald Trump confirmed the seizure on Truth Social, asserting that the vessel was linked to a sanctioned entity and was carrying dual-use military equipment.
Tehran has condemned the action as an act of "armed piracy" and warned of immediate military retaliation.
This confrontation has cast severe doubt on the survival of a fragile 10-day ceasefire set to expire this Wednesday.
