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

Based on the IRGC public relations statement, these two oil tankers had been brought into this route “by provocation and coercion” by the U.S. Army. In this statement, the names of the ships, their nationalities, and the condition 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 the passage of “even a drop of oil and gas,” and the U.S. Army should be prepared for “punitive operations.”
