President Donald Trump announced that the US Navy has seized an Iranian-flagged vessel, Touska, attempting to evade the American blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. The vessel was targeted by the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer USS Spruance (DDG-111), who fired on the tanker after it "blowed a hole" in its engine room. The U.S. Navy has full custody of the vessel, which is under U.-S. Treasury sanctions due to its previous illegal activity.
