US Navy fires on Iranian ship at Strait of Hormuz
Published 2 days, 16 hours ago
Description
US Navy forces have fired upon and seized an Iranian-flagged cargo vessel attempting to breach the naval blockade at the Strait of Hormuz, marking the first shots fired since a ceasefire between the US and Iran came into effect. The USS Spruance intercepted the ship and, after six hours of warnings, opened fire before US Marines boarded and took the vessel into custody. President Trump has announced plans to send a team to Pakistan for peace talks while issuing an ultimatum to Iran, though Iranian officials dispute they have agreed to any meeting.
