IRGC targets US-linked vessel in the Gulf

TEHRAN, March 12 (YPA) – Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) announced that it targeted a US-linked vessel in the Gulf after the ship ignored warnings issued by Iranian naval forces.

According to the IRGC, the vessel belongs to the United States and was sailing under the flag of the Marshall Islands. It said the vessel was struck after it failed to comply with warnings issued by Iranian naval units.

The IRGC stressed that all oil tankers and ships passing through the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz must recognize that the “lack of security in the region” is a result of what it described as the United States’ “unjust aggression.”

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) called on all vessels and tankers navigating the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz to comply with the regulations set by Iran under current wartime conditions.

It said adherence to these regulations is necessary to ensure the safety and security of ships and to prevent them from being hit by stray projectiles amid the ongoing confrontation.
