The US Navy forcibly stopped and seized the Iranian-flagged cargo ship Touska after it attempted to breach the US naval blockade near the Strait of Hormuz. According to reports from the Wall Street Journal and New York Times, experts believe the vessel was carrying special cargo, and a team of US Marines is now searching as many as 5,000 containers aboard the ship. The seizure has escalated tensions and led Iran to shun peace talks with the United States.
