Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced it targeted two oil tankers attempting to cross the southern route of the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC did not specify the nationality of the vessels or the extent of the damage. The Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway between Iran and Oman, is a critical passage for global oil shipments.
