The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) stated: Hours ago, US forces, failing to learn from repeated defeats, attempted to force several ships to transit an illegal route. Two oil tankers fell victim to this American deception. By switching off their navigation systems and ignoring repeated warnings from the Strait of Hormuz Security Control Center, they endangered maritime traffic in the Strait and opted for a controlled route. They were subsequently bombed and rendered inoperable. The IRGC Navy declares that cooperating with the aggressor, who comes from thousands of kilometers away to violate the rights of the region's inhabitants, and attempting to use the controlled route, will only lead to regret, losses, delays in reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and a global energy crisis.
