The U.S. military has seized an Iranian cargo ship attempting to breach America's naval blockade, President Trump announced.

The USS Spruance, a guided missile destroyer, intercepted the vessel TOUSKA in the Gulf of Oman and ordered it to stop. When the Iranian crew refused to comply, the Navy disabled the ship by striking its engine room.

U.S. Marines have now taken custody of the vessel. Trump said the operation demonstrates his administration's resolve in enforcing the blockade.
