IRGC says Iran targeted two oil tankers in Hormuz Strait

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced targeting "two offending oil tankers" attempting to travel through the Strait of Hormuz.

The IRGC said the vessels were trying to "enter and exit the unsafe and dangerous route" south of the waterway, adding that this was done under the coercion of the US army.
