Iran says US seized ship with medical supplies

Iran's Mission to the United Nations has accused the United States of illegally attacking and seizing the Iranian commercial ship 'Tosca' in the Sea of Oman on April 19. The mission states the vessel was carrying vital dialysis supplies and medical equipment, and that the US action constitutes a hostage-taking of its crew. Iran calls the seizure a clear violation of international law and human rights, warning it endangers patient lives and undermines freedom of navigation. The statement demands the perpetrators be held accountable.
