Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Tuesday (local time) announced that its forces targeted two oil tankers passing the Strait of Hormuz, adding that the ships were engaged in “illegal activities.”
The IRGC claimed that they immobilised the tankers and also deactivated their tracking equipment, while simultaneously dismissing several alerts issued by Iranian personnel, ANI reported. The announcement came shortly after the United Arab Emirates (UAE) accused Tehran of attacking two of its tankers, Mombasa and Al Bahiyah, and killing one Indian national and injuring eight others.
This is a developing story. More details awaited.
