United States President Donald Trump has confirmed the US has taken control of an Iranian cargo vessel after it allegedly attempted to breach a US naval blockade over the weekend.
“We have full custody of their ship and are seeing what’s on board!” he wrote on social media, adding that US forces blew a hole in the vessel’s engine room.
Iran’s state news agency says Iran has vowed a swift response to the US seizure of the Iranian-flagged vessel.
It also reported Iran had rejected new peace talks, citing the ongoing blockade, the US’ shifting positions, and “excessive demands”.
