Images show a US destroyer firing at an Iranian-flagged cargo ship that tried to evade a naval blockade in the Gulf of Oman. US President Donald Trump said the US attacked the Iranian ship because it attempted to get past the US blockade. Iran's military command accused the US of committing "act of armed piracy" and "maritime highway robbery."
