US Navy fires on Iranian ship breaking blockade
Published 2 days, 22 hours ago
Description
US forces have fired their first shots since a ceasefire with Iran came into effect, with the US Navy seizing an Iranian-flagged cargo vessel attempting to breach a naval blockade. The USS Spruance intercepted the ship, issued warnings over six hours, then fired on the vessel before US Marines boarded and took it into custody. President Trump has issued an ultimatum to Iran, threatening to target every bridge and power plant in the country while announcing peace talks in Pakistan, though Iran denies agreeing to any meeting.
