CENTCOM details TOUSKA seizure by Marines

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has released new details on the seizure of the Iranian-flagged cargo ship TOUSKA. The operation involved U.S. Marines departing the amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli (LHA 7) by helicopter over the Arabian Sea. They rappelled onto the vessel to board and seize it, with support from the guided-missile destroyer USS Spruance. This action is part of ongoing U.S. enforcement measures against Iran in regional waters.
