Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy said Saturday that it targeted three oil tankers traveling along an unauthorized route in the Strait of Hormuz and three US-linked vessels elsewhere. The claim followed the force’s statement that the US military had attacked three Iranian oil tankers earlier the same day, causing damage. The IRGC Navy issued a firm warning to vessels operating in the Gulf and near the Strait of Hormuz, urging them to avoid suspicious movements intended to pass through unauthorized waterways.
