US Warship Opens Fire on Iranian Cargo Ship Near Hormuz

Post by : Bianca Haleem

Dramatic footage released by the U.S. Central Command reportedly captures the guided-missile destroyer USS Spruance firing disabling rounds at the Iranian-flagged cargo ship Touska near the Strait of Hormuz, before U.S. Marines boarded and took control of the vessel. According to U.S. officials, the ship had ignored multiple warnings and breached a blockade imposed around Iranian ports.

The interception has significantly heightened tensions in one of the world’s most vital oil transit corridors, with global markets closely monitoring developments in the Gulf. Iran has strongly condemned the seizure, while concerns continue to mount over the risk of broader escalation.
