The US Central Command (Centcom) says it has seized an Iranian-flagged cargo ship that tried to evade its blockade of all ships entering or leaving Iranian ports, the BBC reported, Gazeta Express reports.
Centcom says the ship was seized on Tuesday after it departed the Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas and exited the Strait of Hormuz.
It says the US Navy destroyer USS Spruance "successfully redirected the ship", which is now returning to Iran.
Centcom adds that it has now successfully returned 10 ships back to Iran and says none have breached the blockade since it was implemented on Monday.
