The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed that late last night two oil tankers intended to enter the southern route of the Strait of Hormuz exploded and were prevented from moving.

Based on the IRGC public relations statement, these two oil tankers were brought into this route “by provocation and coercion” by the U.S. Army. In this statement, the names of the ships, their nationality, and the status of the crew were not mentioned.

In the same statement, the IRGC said that as long as the United States’ attacks in the region continue, this route would not be safe for “even a drop of oil and gas,” and the U.S. Army should be prepared for “punitive operations.”
