ALWAGHT- Iran vows to respond to US seizure of commercial vessel in the Sea of Oman, accusing US military of ‘armed piracy’.
On Monday, a spokesperson for Khatam Al-Anbiya Central Headquarters threatened retaliation against the US for attacking an Iranian commercial vessel, the Toska, in the Sea of Oman.
The attack reportedly disabled the ship's navigation system and involved American commandos landing on the ship. Although delaying their response to protect the families of the crew, the Iranian Armed Forces warned they would soon retaliate against what they consider "armed piracy" by the US military.
Last night, US President Donald Trump announced that the American military had taken control of the Toska in the Sea of Oman.
