A U.S Navy guided missile destroyer fired on and disabled an Iranian-flagged cargo ship in the Gulf of Oman before Marines boarded and seized the vessel, US President Donald Trump said Sunday.

Axar.az reports, citing CNBC, Trump said that the USS Spruance intercepted the Iranian ship, the Touska, and “gave them fair warning to stop.”

“The Iranian crew refused to listen, so our Navy ship stopped them right in their tracks by blowing a hole in the engineroom,” Trump said in a Truth Social post.

“Right now, U.S. Marines have custody of the vessel,” the president said.

He noted that the Touska is under U.S. Treasury Sanctions due to its “prior history of illegal activity.”

U.S. Central Command later Sunday released a video of a Spruance crew member warning the Touska in a radio transmission, “We’re prepared to subject you to disabling fire.

The Spruance then fired several rounds from the destroyer’s 5-inch MK gun into the Touska’s engine room after warning the ship’s crew to evacuate that room, according to a post on X by Central Command.

That post said the Touska’s crew “failed to comply with repeated warnings over a six-hour period.”

The U.S. has been operating a naval blockade of ships entering and exiting Iranian ports since last week.
