Boil in Hormuz due to American occupation of cargo ship! Iran gave direct threat to Trump, said – will take revenge soon
Iran Warns US Over Seizure Cargo Ship: Iran’s Hazrat Khatam al-Anbiya military headquarters has confirmed that an Iranian ship in the Sea of Oman was attacked and seized by the US. The Iranian statement accused the US Navy of violating the ceasefire by targeting the Iranian vessel and described it as “piracy.”
It was reported that American soldiers deployed on the deck of the ship disabled its navigation system. Iran also warned that its armed forces will soon respond to this action and take revenge.
The ship was trying to cross the blockade
The incident came after a statement issued by the US Central Command (CENTCOM), which said that an Iranian cargo ship, which was detected trying to bypass the blockade near the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday, was forcefully captured by the US Navy. The incident is the first major action against Iranian ports since the start of the US blockade.
The Iranian ship was heading towards Bandar Abbas in the northern Arabian Sea at the time, with a speed of 17 knots per hour. The US Navy repeatedly warned that the ship was violating the blockade. But after ignoring warnings for six hours, the American warship USS Spruance rammed a hole in the ship’s engine room and stopped her. After this, American soldiers of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit boarded the ship and took action, and the ship is currently in American custody.
The capture was done thoughtfully: Centcom
The US command said that the action was taken in a thoughtful, professional and appropriate manner. After the blockade began, 25 commercial ships were instructed to return. Meanwhile, Donald Trump claimed that the US military has taken complete control of the ship that broke the blockade in the Gulf of Oman.

Tension increased again in Hormuz
This entire incident has further increased the tension between America and Iran. Iran’s warning and US actions have put regional security under serious threat, and this comes just ahead of proposed peace talks in Islamabad, hurting the prospects for the talks.
