The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed that at the end of last night, two oil tankers intending to enter the southern route of the Strait of Hormuz exploded and were unable to continue moving.

According to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps public relations statement, these two tankers had been brought into that route “by incitement and coercion” by the United States 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 Guards 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.”
