as posted by the channel

US Central Command said the USS Spruance intercepted the Iranian-flagged “Touska” as it traveled towards an Iranian port in violation of the blockade. Iran’s military called it a violation of the US-Iran temporary ceasefire and threatened to retaliate. However, Iran was later accused of violating the ceasefire after reportedly opening fire on ships trying to transit the Strait of Hormuz. CNN's Ivan Watson reports. #cnn #news #iran
