Revolutionary Guard warns against tanker in Hormuz

A oil tanker received a warning from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard through the British Maritime Trade Operations authority while crossing the Strait of Hormuz, demanding that it turn back or face targeting. The tanker responded by stopping. The incident occurred 11 nautical miles north of Khasab, Oman, amid a series of incidents targeting ships in the strait, a strategic corridor for regional oil traffic that is witnessing increasing tensions between Iran and the United States. The incident neither resulted in injuries nor gunfire and is part of the escalating warnings and measures by Iran in the region.
