Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) struck three oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, the Tasnim news agency reported.

“Three oil tankers that continued moving along an unsafe and illegal route, ignoring our warnings, were attacked and stopped,” the IRGC said.

It emphasized that the actions of any vessel following illegal U.S. instructions regarding passage through the Strait of Hormuz would not go unanswered.
