America has controlled the Iranian ship in the Strait of Hormuz, what will happen now?

A major incident occurred on Monday between the claims of Iran and the US over the rights to the Strait of Hormuz. The US Navy seizes an Iranian-flagged cargo ship. In a way, this is a new challenge for Iran. The cargo ship attempted to bypass the US naval blockade near Hormuz.

US President Donald Trump himself has given this information on social media. He claimed in a post on Sach Social that the Iranian-flagged cargo is named Tosca. The plane was intercepted by the US Navy destroyer USS Spruce in the Gulf of Oman. The ship was trying to bypass the blockade and that was not good for Iran.

Donald Trump’s full statement

“Today, an Iranian-flagged cargo ship named Tosca, about 900 feet long and weighing almost as much as an aircraft carrier, sank,” he said. They tried to bypass our maritime blockade and it did not go well for them. The US Navy guided missile destroyer USS SPRUANCE intercepted the Tosca in the Gulf of Oman and warned them to stop.

The Iranian plane is in the possession of the US

The president added that the Iranian crew refused to heed the American warning, so our navy ship punched a hole in the engine room and trapped them there. “Right now, the Iranian ship is still in the custody of the US Marines,” he said. Tosca is subject to US Treasury sanctions due to its prior history of illegal activity. We have full security on board and we’re looking at what’s on board!’
