Iran condemns US attack on vessel Touska

The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a statement strongly condemning what it calls an illegal and brutal attack by the U.S. military on an Iranian commercial vessel. The ministry reported the attack occurred early on Tuesday morning, April 21, 2026, and that the vessel's crew was detained by U.S. forces. This latest incident escalates maritime tensions between the two nations, following a recent warning from Iran's judiciary that a response to such actions was "very possible." The statement did not provide the name of the vessel or specific details on the location of the incident.
