US releases video said to show mission to capture Iranian ship
US forces have intercepted an Iranian-flagged cargo ship in the Gulf as part of its naval blockade, Donald Trump has said.
The US president wrote on his Truth Social platform that the Touska was seized by the US Navy after failing to respond to a warning to stop.
Iran said it was a violation of the ceasefire and it would retaliate soon for the "act of armed piracy".
Centcom (United States Central Command) released two videos which have been combined in this edit.
They said one video showed the Iranian ship being warned before shots were fired. The second, they said, showed Marines departing their ship and boarding the Iranian vessel.
