The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran claimed on July 29 that it attacked three tankers passing through the Hormuz Strait, halting their operations.
In a statement, the IRGC said, "The tankers ignored prior warnings and were attacked while navigating through an area deemed 'dangerous and illegal' by Iran."
It further warned, "We will not tolerate U.S. interference in regional shipping operations and will maintain control over the Hormuz Strait."
However, the IRGC did not disclose the names or nationalities of the tankers, the specific methods of attack, or details on any damage incurred. There has been no information on casualties, and Iran's claims have not been independently verified.
