Trump: U.S. Marines have taken control of Iranian ships trying to break U.S. blockade

On April 20, U.S. President Trump issued a document stating,"Today, an Iranian-flagged cargo ship called TOUSKA (nearly 900 feet long and almost the same weight as an aircraft carrier) tried to break through our naval blockade, but the result was not ideal. The US Spruance class destroyer intercepted the ship in the Gulf of Oman and issued them a clear warning to stop. The Iranian crew refused to listen, so our naval ship stopped them by punching a hole in the cabin. Now, the U.S. Marine Corps has seized the ship. The TOUSKA vessel was sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Department for its previous illegal activities. We have complete control of the ship and are checking what's on board!" (Jin Shi)
