The US Navy destroyer USS Spruance forcibly stopped and seized the Iranian-flagged cargo ship 'Tosca' after it attempted to breach the US naval blockade near the Strait of Hormuz. Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley has now stated the vessel was traveling from China to Iran's Bandar Abbas and was carrying chemicals related to Iran's missile program. Haley accused China of helping to strengthen the Iranian regime through this action. The ship remains in US custody following the seizure after hours of warnings.
