The Public Relations of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) announces that its naval forces have successfully targeted an American oil tanker in the northern Persian Gulf.
The Public Relations of the IRGC announced in a statement on Thursday that the oil tanker was hit this morning in the northern Persian Gulf by the naval forces of the IRGC and was currently burning.
The statement continued by stating that they had previously said that according to international laws and regulations, during wartime, the rules of passage through the Strait of Hormuz would be at the disposal of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The statement added that everyone must abide by it and that they had noted that military and commercial vessels, etc., belonging to the United States, the Zionist regime, European countries, and their supporters would not be allowed to transit and would certainly be hit if detected.
Analysts note that the joint US-Israeli invasion, which began on February 28, 2026, following the martyrdom of Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, disregarded ongoing indirect negotiations. In response, Iran launched precise retaliatory strikes against Israeli positions and US bases, citing its inherent right to self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter and warned that further escalation will invite a harsher reaction.
