Iran Accuses US of Ceasefire Breach, Vows Retaliation Over Attack on Ship

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!”
