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 prevented from moving.

Based on the IRGC public relations statement, the two oil tankers had been brought into this route “by prompting and coercion” from the United States Army. In this statement, the names of the ships, their nationalities, and the crew’s status 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 or gas,” and the U.S. Army should be ready for “punitive operations.”
