An Iranian-flagged cargo ship sustained significant damage and was taken into custody by the US Marines after it tried to get past the naval blockade, President Donald Trump announced in a post on Truth Social on Sunday.
According to Trump, the ship was named TOUSKA, and was given fair warning before a US Navy ship attacked it. “The Iranian crew refused to listen, so our Navy ship stopped them right in their tracks by blowing a hole in the engine room,” he said.
Trump also mentioned that the TOUSKA is under US Treasury sanctions because of their “prior history of illegal activity.”
This is a developing story.
