ToplinePresident Donald Trump said a U.S. vessel attacked and took over an Iranian-flagged cargo ship named the Touska in the Gulf of Oman, claiming a guided missile destroyer hit the ship’s engine room after it attempted to sail through the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.The U.S. is currently blockading the Strait of Hormuz.Gallo Images via Getty ImagesKey FactsThe Touska is an over 900-foot container ship that was last recorded traveling toward the Strait of Hormuz, according to data from Kpler.The U.S.S. Spruance intercepted the ship, Trump said in a post on Truth Social, and the destroyer finally stopped the cargo ship by “blowing a hole in its engineroom.”U.S. Central Command has not commented on the military operation as of Sunday afternoon, and did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Forbes.The Touska appears on the U.S. Office of Foreign Asset Control’s list as subject to secondary sanctions, which notes it is linked to the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines.The ship and its cargo are now “in the custody” of U.S. Marines, said Trump, who claimed they were now “seeing what’s on board.”The status of the crew onboard the Touska was not immediately clear on Sunday afternoon.Key BackgroundEarlier on Sunday, Trump announced a new round of peace talks with Iran, sounding hopeful a second round could lead to a permanent peace deal as the two countries face an impending end to their two-week truce this week—but also threatening to bomb Iran’s bridges and energy infrastructure if it didn’t. However, Iran seemingly never agreed to the proposed talks, and rejected them later Sunday, according to statements published by Iranian state-owned media. Both Trump and the Iranian leadership blamed each other for violating the ceasefire. Trump said Iran stopping and firing on commercial ships trying to travel through the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday violated the truce, while Iran said it viewed the entire U.S. blockade as a violation. U.S. forces claimed on Saturday they have turned away a total of 23 ships that entered or exited Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz since the blockade began.Further ReadingForbesTrump Threatens Iran—Again—Amid Claim He Wants Iran To Think He’s ‘Unstable’By Zachary FolkForbesIran Rejects Trump's Peace TalksBy Zachary Folk
