The USS Spruance fired on and disabled the Iranian-flagged cargo ship Touska in the Gulf of Oman after the vessel's crew refused to stop, with U.S. Marines subsequently seizing the vessel, according to President Trump. The action is part of an ongoing U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports and follows Iranian attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, escalating tensions ahead of planned peace talks.
