Iran’s military has warned it will respond after US forces fired upon and seized an Iranian-flagged container ship in the Gulf of Oman on Sunday, APA reports citing IRIB.
“The United States, by violating the ceasefire and engaging in maritime highway robbery, attacked an Iranian commercial vessel in the waters of the Sea of Oman,” Iran’s military said, according to Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB in a post on Telegram.
The military added that the US had destroyed the ship’s navigational equipment and deployed troops on the deck, “effectively carrying out an act of aggression against it.”
“We warn that the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran will soon respond to and retaliate against this U.S. armed piracy,” the post concluded.
