'Prepared to disable you': Moment US Navy intercepts Iranian cargo ship in Strait of Hormuz - watch
✦ AI Brief
A US Navy destroyer intercepted an Iranian-flagged cargo vessel, TOUSKA, in the Gulf of Oman after it tried to bypass a naval blockade. The USS Spruance fired several rounds into the vessel's engine room after repeated warnings were ignored, disabling its propulsion. US Marines later boarded the non-compliant vessel, which remains in US custody. The TOUSKA is under US Treasury sanctions due to its prior history of illegal activity.
