US President Trump announced that the Iranian vessel, Touska, ignored warnings to stop in the Gulf of Oman and the USS Spruance 'stopped them right in their tracks by blowing a hole in the engine room.' Iran's military, later on Sunday, vowed to 'soon respond and retaliate,' reported the ISNA news agency.

The president said the ship, named the Touska, was now controlled by U.S. marines.

These were the updates on the US-Israeli war on Iran on Sunday, April 19, 2026.
