US Navy Seizes Iranian Ship
Tensions in the Middle East reached a critical flashpoint as the US Navy Guided Missile Destroyer USS Spruance intercepted the Iranian cargo ship Touska.
President Donald Trump confirmed that Marines took full custody of the vessel after it ignored repeated warnings to stop near the Strait of Hormuz.
In response, Tehran has condemned the action as 'armed piracy' and warned of imminent retaliation against US military assets.
The incident has cast significant doubt on the viability of upcoming peace talks scheduled to take place in Islamabad.
