TANKER CARRYING THE MARSHALL ISLANDS FLAG STRUCK
In a statement from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, it was noted that this morning, the oil tanker named "Safesea Vishnu," which is owned by the United States and carries the Marshall Islands flag, was struck in the northern part of the Strait due to its failure to heed repeated warnings.
On the other hand, the statement highlighted that the shipping traffic in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz is under increasing risk, stating that the responsibility for this situation lies with the United States and that commercial vessels must comply with Iran's maritime regulations to avoid being affected by missiles.
CLOSED SINCE THE ATTACKS BEGAN
While Iran's retaliatory attacks continue in response to the joint assaults by the US and Israel against Iran, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had closed the Strait of Hormuz to the passage of ships, especially those connected to the US and Israel.
