WASHINGTON. On Sunday U.S. forces seized the Iranian‑flagged cargo ship Touska near the Strait of Hormuz after a U.S. Navy destroyer warned the vessel to stop and reportedly struck its engine room; U.S. Marines then boarded and took custody while officials said the ship was under prior U.S. Treasury sanctions. WASHINGTON. The seizure, announced by President Donald Trump, has cast doubt on planned U.S.-led negotiations in Pakistan this week and may affect a fragile ceasefire set to expire Wednesday; U.S. Central Command said the destroyer issued repeated warnings over six hours, and Iran has not yet commented on the incident or attendance at talks.
