An American warship disabled the vessel’s engine before Marines boarded it, CENTCOM said.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) has released a video showing one of its warships firing on an Iranian-flagged cargo vessel that was later seized by US Marines.
According to CENTCOM, the guided-missile destroyer USS Spruance intercepted the M/V Touska in the Gulf of Oman as it attempted to breach a US-imposed naval blockade and reach the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas via the Strait of Hormuz.
“After Touska’s crew failed to comply with repeated warnings over a six-hour period, Spruance directed the vessel to evacuate its engine room. Spruance disabled Touska’s propulsion by firing several rounds from the destroyer’s 5-inch Mk 45 gun into the engine room,” CENTCOM said, adding that a team from the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit later boarded the vessel.
Iranian officials denounced the blockade as illegal under international law, saying it violates the terms of a two-week ceasefire set to expire on Wednesday.
The Iranian military has vowed to retaliate for the seizure of the vessel.
Iran’s Tasnim news agency later reported that the Iranian military had launched a drone at US ships. The US has not confirmed whether any of its vessels came under attack.

Thttps://x.com/i/status/2045607688802128197 The Strait [of Hormuz] was never just Iran’s weapon, it was London’s leverage. Trump’s target was never the Strait itself, it was the system that monetized it. It is that system that is being dismantled
One of the primary tactics employed by the deep state to resist Trump’s agenda was the weaponization of the media. The mainstream media, often referred to as the propaganda wing of the permanent political class, played a crucial role in shaping public perception. By utilizing repetition, emotional framing, and the systematic suppression of dissenting facts, the media cultivated a conditioned response known as Trump Derangement Syndrome. This phenomenon ensured that the populace remained in a state of perpetual outrage, unable to process objective reality.
