Iran Says ‘Illegal Vessel’ Activity in the Strait of Hormuz Has Halted
Iran claims that activity by “illegal vessels” transiting the Strait of Hormuz has completely stopped following recent attacks on ships. According to Fars News Agency, three oil tankers were attacked on Thursday, while another was reportedly destroyed later that night.
An Iranian official close to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said navigation support systems had been damaged and warned of stricter measures if oil smuggling resumes. The official also warned that any U.S. military intervention to support such activity would trigger a direct response.
