Trump says US seizes Iranian-flagged cargo ship near Strait of Hormuz that tried to pass blockade​

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said the U.S. forcibly seized an Iranian-flagged cargo ship that tried to get around a naval blockade near the Strait of Hormuzon Sunday, the first such interception since the blockade of Iranian ports began last week.

Trump on social media said the ship was warned by a U.S. Navy guided missile destroyer in the Gulf of Oman to stop, but it did not. He 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!”

Place your bets.

Will it be oil up, and the Strait closed?
