The US has named the weapon that attacked the Iranian ship Touska.

Trump commented on the American attack on the M/V Touska, a cargo ship sailing in the Arabian Sea under the Iranian flag. According to the US president, "a hole was punched in the engine room":

Now our marines are looking at what this huge vessel, the size of an aircraft carrier, has on board.

It is now known that the strike took place in the northern Arabian Sea. The attack on the commercial vessel Touska was carried out by the US Navy destroyer USS Spruance.

American Central Command:

The Iranian-flagged vessel ignored numerous radio warnings for a long time. Before launching the strike, our military ordered the vessel's crew to evacuate the engine room, which was then targeted.

The ship was known to be en route to the port of Bandar Abbas. Its speed at the time of the attack was approximately 17 knots.

The destroyer opened fire on it with a 127mm Mk 45 gun. Several shells hit the propulsion system, and the vessel lost propulsion. Marines from the 31st U.S. Expeditionary Unit then boarded the vessel. The ship was taken under American control. The fate of the crew and their nationalities have not yet been announced.

Iran pointed out that the vessel was sailing from China and called the incident "maritime piracy" and a violation of the fragile ceasefire. Iranian command promised a "swift and decisive response" to the aggression. The US likely assumed the vessel was delivering supplies from China. weapon.

This is the first instance of the use of weapons under the American blockade, which was introduced in April 2026. Until now, the US has limited itself to turning away commercial vessels and making verbal threats.

Well, the Yankees have had their say, let's see what the Iranians will say.

Let's see what the Iranians say.

I think they'll be just as strong. The Yankees shouldn't have bothered to get involved, and Trump needs at least some kind of victory. It seems he's really starting to burn out. Peacekeeping isn't cutting it anymore.

[Murmur 55]

Egoza Well, Trump openly stated that since he won't be winning the Nobel Peace Prize, he's offended by everyone and will act like a bully. Now he's trying to prove it, albeit with difficulty, that his only asset is the operation with Maduro, and even that has had murky results.

[novel66]

That's right! "If you've been wronged unfairly, come back and earn it!"

[Murmur 55]

novel66 It's more like a teenager's logic here, like, since you didn't reward me, you'll regret everything and now I have a reason to act like the last one

It might be simpler - dementia and loss of reality

[Vladivostok1969]

It was previously reported that the US intercepted a vessel in the Gulf of Oman. Immediately afterward, Iran launched drone strikes against the US ships, calling the interception a violation of the ceasefire.

Iran has already responded.

[Murmur 55]

Vladivostok 1969 The question here is, as a result of this strike, did the Americans seize the ship? It's unclear what happened to the crew and cargo, if it was carrying cargo. What consequences did the Iranian strike have? It's interesting that the word "pindos" can't be written.

Well, the Yankees have had their say, let's see what the Iranians will say.

The Persians have already responded that the planned talks with the Pak are in question, as the delegation is not ready to leave Tehran without positive steps from 3,14 ndos.
Along the way, information emerged about possible attacks on the delegation during its previous trips and the Zionists' plans for the current round of negotiations.

[kosmozoo]

The Iranian command promised a "swift and decisive response" to the aggression.

Perhaps this is the answer, or perhaps it is systematic work:

At least 11 scientists with access to American military, nuclear, and space research have gone missing or died under unclear circumstances in the United States.

[Murmur 55]

kosmozoo Are you suggesting that Iran responded to the US in this way?

[kosmozoo]

Yes, I think the pro-Iranian guys did their best. The deaths are very strange and stand out from the statistics. Even Trump had to promise to look into it.

[Murmur 55]

kosmozoo, why, if Iran was the one who chose these particular morons? And most importantly, if these scientists are so vital and important for this industry, why were they running around without federal protection?

[novel66]

In fact, they've lost their fear, and Bruce Willis isn't the same anymore.

What is the timeframe for the statistics? Can I see them?

[Soldatov V.]

They didn't disappear anywhere, they were simply hidden somewhere where they were developing new nuclear weapons. They were issued new passports and driver's licenses. If their families disappeared, that's for sure.

[Poplar]

At least 11 scientists with access to American military, nuclear and space research have gone missing or died under unclear circumstances in the United States.

I recently read an article on this topic. These disappearances occurred over a fairly long period of time, so it's unlikely that this is an Iranian response. It's also entirely possible that they, or some of them, were simply classified.

[LASVEGAS]

This was Iran's response - to show that China does not supply weapons to them.
Does not deliver by water!

[Vladislav Minchenko]

This is the first instance of the use of weapons within the framework of the American blockade.

And far from the last...

[Earl]

I imagine if weapons had been found on the attacked ship, the outcry would have been unimaginable. Iran will definitely retaliate now, and the truce, whatever there was, was broken by the Americans.

Piracy in its purest form. Sea robbery! How long will the earth endure these thugs? Sodom and Gomorrah is the mildest punishment for this entity. Oblivion and oblivion.

[Murmur 55]

Sergei Viktorovich Korolev Unfortunately, there is no one to put the US in its place, and only the Americans themselves can destroy it as a country, and they are in no hurry to do so.

[north 2]

Without at all condoning or supporting US aggression against Iran, I would like to point out the excellent performance of the artillery mount on that American destroyer that attacked the Iranian-flagged vessel. If we believe the Americans, who warned that the ship's engine room would be targeted and the shells landed precisely there, even though the ship was moving at 17 knots, then the artillery mount on that American destroyer was truly excellent.

[cpls22]

I wish I knew what range they hit from. The ship was peaceful—no need to shoot from afar.

There is no Foreign Ministry in Tehran, and there is no one to express concerns to, so the Iranian Armed Forces are responding to Trump's piracy the old-fashioned way, as expected.

I am somewhat surprised by the situation in which a well-known country, citing its immunity and personal right to resolve international conflicts (usually in its favor), not only attacks the ships and vessels of sovereign states without right and without cause, but also publicly declares and boasts about it...
What does the community think about a purely hypothetical situation where US Navy ships or vessels are attacked by unknown ships (submarines, unmanned aerial vehicles) of unknown origin in an area of ​​the world's oceans with a depth of 5,000-6,000 meters?
