TEHRAN: There are no indications so far that any U.S. ship is being directed by Iranian forces into an Iranian port, a U.S. official said.
The official, who spoke to media on condition of anonymity to discuss the situation, said the United States was still working to get clarity on the situation after an Iranian “force” seized a U.S. cargo ship in the Gulf and directed it to the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas.
Media told that the force had “opened fire” on the U.S. ship, which had 34 U.S. sailors aboard.
