BlockBeats News, October 9: Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it attacked a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) tanker in the Strait of Hormuz several hours ago.

In a statement issued later, it said that, effective immediately, any vessels committing violations in areas outside the Strait of Hormuz would also face “punishment.” The statement did not further specify the scope of the violations or the measures to be taken.
