US President Donald Trump on April 19,
US time, said that the Iranian-flagged 

00:00:07.436 --> 00:00:11.814 
cargo ship Tuskar was intercepted by the
US destroyer USS Bruins while trying to 

00:00:11.814 --> 00:00:13.690 
break through the US Navy's blockade. 

00:00:13.690 --> 00:00:18.125 
According to him, after the crew refused
to stop, the US warship fired a 127mm 

00:00:18.125 --> 00:00:20.490 
naval gun that pierced the ship's engine room. 

00:00:20.790 --> 00:00:25.261 
The US Central Command on April 19
released a video showing the USS Bruins 

00:00:25.261 --> 00:00:29.413 
moving in parallel and issuing warnings
many times for 6 hours before firing 

00:00:29.413 --> 00:00:30.690 
at least 3 shots. 

00:00:30.690 --> 00:00:35.010 
After that, the US Marine Corps landed
and controlled the Iranian-flagged ship. 

00:00:35.370 --> 00:00:38.626 
The Iranian side confirmed the incident,
accusing the US of violating the 

00:00:38.626 --> 00:00:41.610 
ceasefire and calling it a piracy,
and warned it would respond. 

00:00:41.610 --> 00:00:44.990 
Maritime data showed that the Tuskar was
moving near Chabaha and heading towards 

00:00:44.990 --> 00:00:47.330 
the port of Bandar Abbas when it was intercepted.
