Iran warns of response after ship seizure

Iran warns of response after ship seizure

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.
