IRIB, on Saturday night, wrote, after publishing a short video of a ship that was hit: “In response to the United States’ attacks on three Iranian oil tankers, the IRGC has targeted three vessels along the unauthorized route through the Strait of Hormuz, and also targeted three American ships.” Previously, the IRGC Navy had also announced in a statement that it had targeted three vessels “along unauthorized transit routes through the Strait of Hormuz.” The incident occurred after the official announcement by CENTCOM, the U.S. Central Command, about an attack on three Iranian oil tankers in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman.
