Iran warns of response after ship seizure

Iran warns of response after ship seizure

Tensions at sea have risen again, raising fears of more disruption to shipping and energy supplies. Iran said on Sunday it would respond soon after the US seized the Iranian-flagged cargo ship Touska, calling the action a breach of the two-week ceasefire and describing it as armed robbery. Iranian commanders said the vessel had been travelling from China to Iran and that drones later struck some US military ships.
