CENTCOM confirmed Sunday that the U.S. Navy fired into the engine room of an Iranian-flagged vessel after it allegedly violated a maritime blockade.
The command also highlighted a six-hour standoff with the tanker in the Arabian Sea.
In a post shared on X , the command said the action followed repeated warnings.
“U.S. forces operating in the Arabian Sea enforced naval blockade measures against an Iranian-flagged cargo vessel attempting to sail toward an Iranian port, April 19,” CENTCOM said.
The command described how a guided-missile destroyer, USS Spruance (DDG-111), intercepted the vessel, M/V Touska, as it transited the North Arabian Sea at 17 knots en route to Bandar Abbas, Iran.
“American forces issued multiple warnings and informed the Iranian-flagged vessel it was in violation of the U.S. blockade,” CENTCOM said.
After Touska’s crew failed to comply with repeated warnings over a six-hour period, the command explained how Spruance directed the vessel to evacuate its engine room.
“Spruance disabled Touska’s propulsion by firing several rounds from the destroyer’s 5-inch MK 45 Gun into Touska’s engine room,” CENTCOM said before adding that U.S. Marines from the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit “later boarded the non-compliant vessel, which remains in U.S. custody.”
“American forces acted in a deliberate, professional, and proportional manner to ensure compliance,” it said.
Since the blockade’s commencement, U.S. forces have directed 25 commercial vessels to turn around or return to an Iranian port, CENTCOM added.
Hezbollah said it detonated explosives that destroyed Israeli tanks in an attack in southern Lebanon.
The terror group said in a statement that bombs it planted exploded, destroying four tanks in a convoy of eight tanks that was passing the village of Deir Siryan.
This was Hezbollah's first claim of an attack since a 10-day ceasefire went into effect on Thursday.

Drivers are getting a bit of relief at the pump as gas prices tick lower nationwide.
The national average for a gallon of regular gasoline fell 7 cents to $4.09, according to AAA, marking a small but welcome break after recent volatility.
While the decline is modest, it comes as drivers head into the busier spring and summer travel season, when demand for gasoline typically begins to rise.
Gas prices continue to vary widely across the country. The most expensive markets are concentrated on the West Coast and in non-contiguous states, led by California ($5.84), Hawaii ($5.67), Washington ($5.38), and Alaska ($4.66).
In contrast, the lowest prices are mainly in the Midwest and South, with Oklahoma ($3.43), Kansas ($3.50), and Iowa ($3.57) among the least expensive markets.
For now, drivers are benefiting from a short-term drop in prices, but the broader outlook will depend on how geopolitical developments unfold in the weeks ahead.
{{#rendered}}The conflict in the Middle East is pushing up global energy prices, raising costs for both beef and the propane used to fuel backyard grills.
“The impact of ongoing challenges in the Middle East on energy prices impacts nearly every facet of the U.S. economy and beef-cattle are not immune,” said Glynn Tonsor, a professor of agricultural economics at Kansas State University.
Ranchers rely on energy at nearly every step, and those higher costs are often passed on to consumers. Propane prices are also rising, with U.S. benchmark prices up nearly 19% since the conflict began.
Supply constraints are adding to the pressure. The U.S. cattle herd is at its smallest size in 75 years, keeping beef prices elevated.
According to U.S. Department of Agriculture data, beef prices climbed from about $8.70 per pound in March 2025 to $10.08 a year later—an increase of roughly 16%.
For shoppers, that means prices may remain high—or climb further—as forces far beyond Americans’ backyards shape the cost of firing up the grill this summer.

The Israeli military said it has verified a video circulating on social media that appears to show an Israeli soldier from the northern command using a sledgehammer to smash a statue of Jesus in southern Lebanon.
The military said the soldier's actions are completely "inconsistent with the values expected of its troops."
The incident remains under investigation.

The U.S. military announced it attacked and seized an Iranian-flagged cargo ship it said had attempted to evade its naval blockade near the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday, according to U.S. Central Command.
"U.S. Marines depart amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli (LHA 7) by helicopter and transit over the Arabian Sea to board and seize M/V Touska," CENTCOM said on X.
"The Marines rappelled onto the Iranian-flagged vessel, April 20, after guided-missile destroyer USS Spruance (DDG 111) disabled Touska’s propulsion when the commercial ship failed to comply with repeated warnings from U.S. forces over a six-hour period," the post added.
Iran’s joint military command vowed to respond after the first interception since the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports began last week. Tehran called the armed boarding an act of piracy and a ceasefire violation, according to state media.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Sunday that the United States is working to deter further attacks by Iran and stabilize global energy markets amid the Iran conflict.
Bessent’s remarks came after a meeting with finance officials in Qatar.
“On Friday, I met His Excellency Ali bin Ahmed Al Kuwari, @mof_qatar, to discuss ongoing cooperation between the United States and Qatar, especially during Iran’s attacks against Gulf Cooperation Council nations,” Bessent said in a post shared on X.
“I emphasized that the United States seeks to deter future attacks by Iran and to ensure that energy and broader markets are not further impacted,” he added.
Bessent also said that he welcomed Qatar’s continued investment in the United States, specifically in relation to strengthening energy security.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has labeled U.S. threats surrounding the blockade and measures in the Strait of Hormuz as "proof of America's lack of seriousness in diplomacy," according to the semi-official Tasnim News Agency on Sunday.
"The threats to Iranian ports, coasts, and vessels, threatening rhetoric, unreasonable demands, and constant contradictions are clear signs of America's ill will," Araghchi said.
The foreign minister’s remarks were made during a phone conversation with Pakistani Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar, the Jerusalem Post reported.
The outlet also said Araghchi had warned that the regime will "use all its capabilities to protect Iran's interests and national security."
Iran warned the U.S. it would retaliate Sunday after the Navy confirmed it fired on an Iranian-flagged cargo vessel near the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran also denounced the incident as “armed piracy," according to reports.
The standoff Sunday came as the Iranian-flagged cargo ship sailed toward Iran’s Bandar Abbas port in breach of the U.S. blockade.
"We have full custody of their ship, and are seeing what's on board!" President Trump also said Sunday.
Reuters reported that Iran’s military said the ship had been traveling from China.
"We warn that the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran will soon respond and retaliate against this armed piracy by the U.S. military," a military spokesperson said, according to state media.
Iranian state media also reported that Tehran had rejected new peace talks, citing the ongoing blockade, threatening rhetoric, and Washington’s shifting positions and "excessive demands."
"One cannot restrict Iran's oil exports while expecting free security for others. The choice is clear: either a free oil market for all, or the risk of significant costs for everyone," Iran’s First Vice President Mohammadreza Aref also wrote on X.
{{#rendered}}Iran’s ambassador to Pakistan said Sunday that tensions will continue with the U.S. as long as the naval blockade is in place, warning that underlying divisions are unresolved.
“You cannot keep violating international law, double down on your blockade, threaten Iran with further war crimes, insist on unreasonable demands, pace out with rhetoric and pretend to be pursuing 'Diplomacy',” Reza Amiri Moghadam said on X.
He added that the situation will not stabilize while the blockade is still in place. “As long as the naval blockade remains, fault lines remain," he warned.
A vessel that came under fire on April 18 in the Strait of Hormuz has been confirmed as part of a French fleet, Reuters said Sunday.
French shipping giant CMA CGM said that one of its ships was involved in the incident, describing the gunfire as “warning shots” and confirming that all crew members are safe.
The development comes amid rising tensions in the region. President Donald Trump also said Iran had violated a ceasefire agreement, writing on social media that Tehran had “decided to fire bullets” in the strategic waterway and that both French and British vessels were among those targeted.
On Saturday, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) closed the Strait of Hormuz to shipping following the U.S. Navy blockade of Iranian ports.
Iranian forces reportedly fired on several vessels, including Indian-flagged tankers, bringing traffic in the vital shipping lane to a halt.
The U.S. Navy intercepted and took custody of an Iranian-flagged cargo ship attempting to bypass the U.S. maritime blockade in the region, President Donald Trump said Sunday.
“Today, an Iranian-flagged cargo ship named TOUSKA, nearly 900 feet long and weighing almost as much as an aircraft carrier, tried to get past our naval blockade, and it did not go well for them,” Trump said in a post shared on X.
“The U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer USS Spruance intercepted the TOUSKA in the Gulf of Oman, and gave them fair warning to stop,” he said.
“The Iranian crew refused to listen, so our Navy ship stopped them right in their tracks by blowing a hole in the engine room. Right now, U.S. Marines have custody of the vessel,” Trump added.
“The TOUSKA is under U.S. Treasury sanctions because of its prior history of illegal activity. We have full custody of the ship, and are seeing what’s on board!” he said.
{{#rendered}}The U.S. Navy is continuing to enforce the blockade targeting Iranian ports and coastal areas, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said Sunday.
“Sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) stand watch in the Arabian Sea as U.S. forces enforce the blockade of Iranian ports and coastal areas,” the command said in a post shared on X.
The blockade, which took effect April 13, covers Iranian ports and extends through the Strait of Hormuz.
The effort is aimed at stopping commercial maritime traffic, halting oil exports and preventing goods from entering the country.
The threat level for the Strait of Hormuz was raised to “critical” on Sunday, according to an update by the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO).
UKMTO also said in the advisory that the Strait of Hormuz faced risks including navigation interference, blockade enforcement, mine reports and residual kinetic threats, with a risk of attack or miscalculation.
It added that for the Arabian Gulf/Strait of Hormuz, the region remains a “high-risk operating environment. The ceasefire remains fragile, and blockade enforcement continues by naval forces,” it said.
“Rapid, short-notice hostile action remains possible near Iranian waters, anchorages, and predictable routes. Mine risk is noted in the vicinity of the traffic separation scheme,” the advisory said.
Federal authorities arrested an Iranian woman at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday, alleging she brokered deals to sell Iranian-made drones, bombs, bomb fuses, assault weapons and millions of rounds of ammunition to Sudan in violation of U.S. sanctions laws, according to a newly unsealed criminal complaint.
"Last night, Shamim Mafi, 44, of Woodland Hills, was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport for trafficking arms on behalf of the government of Iran," First Assisant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli wrote Sunday on X.
"She is charged with a violation of 50 U.S.C. § 1705 for brokering the sale of drones, bombs, bomb fuses, and millions of rounds of ammunition manufactured by Iran and sold to Sudan.
"If convicted, she faces a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison. Mafi is an Iranian national who became a lawful permanent resident of the United States in 2016. She is expected to make her initial appearance on Monday afternoon in U.S. District Court in downtown L.A. She is presumed innocent until proven guilty in court."
Prosecutors say Mafi, granted permanent U.S. residency in California under former President Barack Obama, worked with others on behalf of Iran and was preparing to board an LAX flight to Turkey when she was taken into custody, according to a redacted member of the Iran Counterintelligence Squad of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office.

{{#rendered}}Iran has rejected taking part in a second round of peace talks with the U.S., Iranian state media reported Sunday.
IRNA News Agency says Iranian officials rejected the talks due to "unrealistic expectations" on the U.S. side.
"Iran rejected taking part in the second round of the talks with the United States," IRNA said in a statement.
"Iran stated that its absence from the second round of talks stems from what it called Washington's excessive demands, unrealistic expectations, constant shifts in stance, repeated contradictions, and the ongoing naval blockade, which it considers a breach of the ceasefire," the agency added.
Vice President JD Vance, Jared Kushner and envoy Steve Witkoff were expected to participate in peace talks in Pakistan on Tuesday.
Israeli Defense Forces say they have eliminated over 250 Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon since the conflict began.
"To date, IDF troops from the 162nd Division have eliminated more than 250 terrorists, dismantled over 405 terrorist infrastructures, and located more than 1,000 weapons and munitions items in the Forward Defense Area. During one of the operations, body cameras belonging to Hezbollah terrorist organization operatives were found, containing recordings used for the organization’s propaganda," the IDF said in a statement.
"The IDF will continue to operate with determination to remove threats, maintain the security of the civilians of the State of Israel, and strengthen the forward defense posture," the statement added.
Transportation Sec. Sean Duffy predicted that jet fuel prices will drop below where they were before the war in Iran after the conflict ends.
Duffy made the statement during an appearance on "The Sunday Briefing," saying travel will be cheaper for Americans "in the long run."
"But if you if you look in the out years, we think once this conflict is over, we're going to see jet fuel go lower than it was before the Iran conflict," Duffy said.
"So yes, a small disruption, hopefully for a short period of time. But in the long run, it becomes cheaper for Americans to travel because of decreased jet fuel prices," he said.
{{#rendered}}Iranian officials claimed to have the "upper hand" in the Strait of Hormuz this weekend, leading to mixed messages coming out of Tehran.
U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Mike Waltz says Iran's Foreign Ministry is in conflict with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.
"The foreign minister says it's open. The IRGC says it closed. Regardless, it's the U.S. Navy and President Trump as the commander-in-chief that decides what ultimately comes in and comes out. And I think the bigger picture here is that the Iranian regime cannot hold the entire world's economy hostage. They cannot met out collective punishment because of a dispute over its nuclear program," Walz said in a Sunday interview on "Meet the Press."
CNN's Michael Smerconish urged Congress to formally authorize President Donald Trump’s ongoing war with Iran during his show Saturday, arguing lawmakers must stop delaying a clear vote as the statutory deadline under the War Powers Resolution approaches.
"The core question is simple: do you believe it’s essential that Iran not acquire a nuclear weapon?" Smerconish said at the top of the segment.
Congress faces an April 28 deadline when the War Powers Resolution requires both chambers to authorize or block the use of force.
Smerconish made his remarks more than 40 days after U.S. military action against Iran began following joint U.S.-Israeli strikes that escalated the conflict.
"If that answer is yes, and I believe the answer is obviously yes, then authorize the military action necessary to achieve that specific objective," the CNN host said.
Smerconish argued that a narrowly tailored authorization would clarify both legal authority and political accountability as the conflict continues.
"An authorization scoped to Iran’s nuclear program gives the president the legal authority that he needs, gives Congress the accountability it owes to the American people, and gives Iran no clock to run out," he said.
He dismissed ongoing procedural maneuvering in Congress, calling on lawmakers, particularly Democrats, to take a definitive stance.

Trump said the meetings in Pakistan will begin on Tuesday.

President Donald Trump is giving peace – and war – a chance after alleged ceasefire violations, he told Fox News Sunday morning.
"If the deal isn’t done, the deal that we made, then I’m going to take out their bridges and their power plants," Trump said as he fired off another warning to repeat his threat to end "civilization" in Iran. "If they don’t sign this thing, the whole country is going to get blown up."
"We’re preparing to hit them harder than any country has ever been hit before because you cannot let them have a nuclear weapon," Trump added.
Those remarks came as Trump mocked the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in a Truth Social post for staking claim to a Strait of Hormuz "blockade" the U.S. military had already put in place.
This is an excerpt from an article by Fox News' Eric Mack.
Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez of Spain has tried to position himself as the European counterweight to President Donald Trump, but his motives are being questioned by critics.
Sanchez, who is hosting a conference of leftist leaders from around the world in Barcelona this weekend, has rejected increasing Madrid’s NATO spending while positioning Spain against the Trump administration on several key policy issues.
More recently, the Spanish politician has taken a belligerent stand against the U.S. and Israeli military campaign against the Iranian regime, forbidding the U.S. from using its military bases in Spain to refuel aircraft or prepare for military action, decrying the campaign as illegal while staying quiet on the regime’s murder of thousands of protesters and its increased drive to produce ballistic missiles and acquire nuclear weapons-grade enriched uranium.
A few days after the war began with Iran, Sanchez said, "We are not going to be complicit in something that is bad for the world and is also contrary to our values and interests, just out of fear of reprisals from someone," Sánchez said, using the slogan "No to the war," the Associated Press reported.
On Saturday, Trump took aim at Sanchez’s policies in a Truth Social post, asking: "Has anybody looked at how badly the country of Spain is doing. Their financial numbers, despite contributing almost nothing to NATO and their military defense, are absolutely horrendous. Sad to watch!!!"
In March, Trump said he had asked Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent "to cut off all dealings with Spain."
Critics charge that Sanchez, already well known for his fervently anti-Israel views, has increased his public pronouncements to take pressure off him due to a series of corruption scandals involving family members, something he and his supporters have denied.
Javier Negre, a conservative Spanish journalist and owner of La Derecha Diario and UHN Plus told Fox News Digital. "The stance of President Pedro Sánchez against President Donald Trump is neither improvised nor based on convictions. It is purely electoral marketing. He has realized that by confronting the most powerful president in the world and getting Trump to speak about him, he achieves two things: first, he positions himself in the media as the leading figure of the global left and globalism against the new right."

{{#rendered}}President Donald Trump says there is an ongoing fight between "moderates" and "crazies" in Iran amid negotiations with the U.S.
Trump made the statement during an interview with Fox News' Trey Yingst on Sunday, saying Jared Kushner and envoy Steve Witkoff were departing for talks in the Middle East on Tuesday.
“If the deal isn’t done, the deal that we made, then I’m going to take out their bridges and their power plants," Trump said. “If they don’t sign this thing, the whole country is going to get blown up.”
“We’re preparing to hit them harder than any country has ever been hit before because you cannot let them have a nuclear weapon," he continued.
Trump went on to say that Iran has "agreed to much" of the deal already.
President Donald Trump lashed out at the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps for closing the Strait of Hormuz once again on Sunday.
Trump made the statement in a post on Truth Social, mocking the IRGC for "helping us without knowing."
"Iran decided to fire bullets yesterday in the Strait of Hormuz — A Total Violation of our Ceasefire Agreement! Many of them were aimed at a French Ship, and a Freighter from the United Kingdom. That wasn’t nice, was it?" Trump wrote.
"My Representatives are going to Islamabad, Pakistan — They will be there tomorrow evening, for Negotiations. Iran recently announced that they were closing the Strait, which is strange, because our BLOCKADE has already closed it. They’re helping us without knowing, and they are the ones that lose with the closed passage, $500 Million Dollars a day! The United States loses nothing. In fact, many Ships are headed, right now, to the U.S., Texas, Louisiana, and Alaska, to load up, compliments of the IRGC, always wanting to be 'the tough guy!'" he continued.
"We’re offering a very fair and reasonable DEAL, and I hope they take it because, if they don’t, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY! They’ll come down fast, they’ll come down easy and, if they don’t take the DEAL, it will be my Honor to do what has to be done, which should have been done to Iran, by other Presidents, for the last 47 years. IT’S TIME FOR THE IRAN KILLING MACHINE TO END!" he added.
Fox Nation’s new special, "Nepo Babies of Iran’s Regime," brings to light the striking contrast between the lavish lives of the relatives of Iran’s ruling elite living abroad and the suffering of ordinary Iranians under the Islamic Republic.
The documentary features experts on the regime and Iranians who escaped the theocracy, highlighting the hypocrisy behind powerful Iranian leaders funding sports cars, designer labels and nights at the club for their children — a lifestyle that runs counter to the strict form of Islam they're forcing onto the Iranian people.
These "aghazadeh," the Persian word for the privileged offspring of high-ranking officials, live in luxurious villas, drink alcohol and party, and then post about it on social media for all to see — including their parents and the Iranians from whom their wealth is extracted.
One expert called Iran a "mafia state" that transfers money from its people to its ruling class.
One figure the special zeroes in on is a relative of General Qasem Soleimani, who was killed in an American drone strike during President Donald Trump's first administration.
Soleimani led the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, which Alex Vatanka of the Middle East Institute described as "the organization that was meant to spread Iran's revolution [and the] Islamist message of Khomeini to countries in the Arab world."
Iran expert Lisa Daftari said Soleimani's niece, Hamideh Soleimani Afshar, and her daughter were living lives of luxury in Los Angeles while traveling back and forth to Iran, violating the conditions of their asylum status.

{{#rendered}}The U.S. Navy released photos Saturday of "fresh meals" being served onboard the USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Tripoli as it pushed back against claims of food shortages on Middle East warships.
Images have emerged purportedly showing meager meals being served to sailors during Operation Epic Fury against Iran, but the claims are being rejected at the highest levels of the Pentagon, with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth blasting them as "fake news."
"Fresh meals. Full service. Mission ready. Sailors aboard USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Tripoli continue to receive regularly prepared meals at sea — no interruptions, no shortages," the Navy wrote on X Saturday morning.
It shared photos showing full plates of food being served to sailors. One image showed boxes of food supplies stacked to the ceiling onboard one of the ships.
"Recent reports alleging food shortages and poor quality aboard our deployed ships are false," Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Daryl Caudle said Friday.
"Both USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Tripoli have sufficient food onboard to serve their crews with healthy options. The health and wellbeing of our Sailors and Marines are my top priority, and every crew member continues to receive fully portioned, nutritionally balanced meals."
"The U.S. Navy is correct. More FAKE NEWS from the Pharisee Press," Hegseth said in response to Caudle’s statement.
"My team confirmed the logistics stats for the Lincoln & Tripoli. Both have 30+ days of Class I supplies (food) on board. NavCent monitors this everyday, for every ship," Hegseth said. "Our sailors deserve — and receive — the best."

President Donald Trump publicly thanked what he called Pakistan’s "great prime minister and field marshal, two fantastic people!!!" in a Truth Social post Friday praising Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Pakistan’s military chief, Asim Munir.
Sharif quickly responded on X, "On behalf of the people of Pakistan, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, and on my behalf, I express my deep and profound appreciation for your kind and gracious words."
The public exchange capped a remarkable rise for Munir, who has become one of the few foreign officials trusted both by Trump and by Iran’s security establishment.
Munir recently became the first foreign military leader to visit Iran since the latest escalation between the United States and Iran, according to Pakistani and Iranian reports. Arriving in full military uniform, he was warmly greeted by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and held meetings with senior Iranian military officials.
Retired Pakistani Gen. Ahmed Saeed told Fox News Digital that Munir has for months served as an informal back channel between Washington and Tehran, Iran, as the Trump administration tries to negotiate an end to the conflict, Iran’s nuclear program and the naval blockade in the Persian Gulf.
Few foreign figures appear to have closer ties both to Trump and to Iran’s military hierarchy.
That has raised a striking question: How did the same man become close both to Trump and to some of Iran’s most powerful commanders?

"Speaking at the Michigan Democratic Party Legacy Dinner in Detroit, the Democratic governor delivered a wide-ranging critique.
“He is waging new wars and he is risking American lives. Kentucky has also already lost two of our sons and daughters just last week," Beshear said. "The American people and the entire world had to sit a whole day just to see if a president would commit war crimes that would kill thousands of people.”
Beshear added, "He threatened to end a civilization — folks, that isn't just anti-American. That is flat out crazy. And you know how he followed that up? He attacked the pope and then created an AI-generated image of him as Jesus Christ."
