Iran's top joint military command, Khatam al-Anbiya, accused the U.S. of violating a ceasefire by firing at one of Iran's commercial ships in the Gulf of Oman, vowing to retaliate.
State media quoted a Khatam al-Anbiya spokesperson as saying early on Monday that the vessel was en route from China to Iran.
"We warn that the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran will soon respond and retaliate against this armed piracy by the U.S. military," the spokesperson said.
President Donald Trump on Sunday said the Navy “stopped them right in their tracks by blowing a hole in the engineroom” and that U.S.
Marines had custody of the vessel, named Touska, and were “seeing what’s on board!”
