Iran’s
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Thursday accused US aircraft of
disrupting the movement of two oil tankers south of the Strait of Hormuz,
claiming the vessels were forced off their designated route before one caught
fire.
The Force
did not provide details on the cause of the fire, the identities of the
tankers, or the extent of the damage.
“The
Strait of Hormuz is our territory, and the IRGC naval forces exercise control
over it with full authority,” the IRGC declared, adding that Iran would
not allow foreign forces to interfere in the affairs of the strategic maritime
gateway.
Warning
that any attack would trigger a response on the same day, the Force maintained
that Hormuz would remain closed as long as the United States
continues its military actions in the region.
Earlier
today, US Central Command (CENTCOM) reported that its forces had
“successfully completed a dense wave of strikes” against dozens of
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) sites inside Iran.
