[Iranian Media Claims Iranian Forces Thwarted U.S. Attempt to Seize Iranian Merchant Ship] According to a report by Golden Finance on April 20, Iran's Mehr News Agency reported an incident in the Sea of Oman that appears to differ from U.S. President Trump's earlier claim about the U.S. seizing an Iranian vessel. It is worth noting that the statement did not mention the name of the vessel involved. The statement read: 'American terrorists were deployed to the waters surrounding the Sea of Oman and opened fire on an Iranian merchant ship, forcing it to return to Iranian territorial waters.' 'However, with the timely arrival and swift response of the Revolutionary Guard Navy forces to support the Iranian vessel, the U.S. military was forced to retreat and flee the area.' (Al Jazeera)
