## Caption

The US military said it fired on an Iranian-flagged cargo ship in the Arabian Sea after a six-hour standoff, disabling its engines before boarding the vessel.⁣
⁣
US Central Command said the ship, identified as M/V Touska, failed to respond to repeated warnings as it headed toward Iran’s Bandar Abbas port.⁣
⁣
Iran condemned the incident as “armed piracy” and warned it would retaliate.⁣
