Iran reports targeting two tankers in Strait of Hormuz
On Friday, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards announced that they targeted two ships attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, using "air support" from the U.S. military. The two vessels violating regulations were stopped, while four other ships quickly changed course and withdrew. Iran indicates that the two ships were trying to cross the strait via an unauthorized route, whereas Iran restricts vessel passage to a corridor aligned with its coastlines, threatening to target any ships attempting to use alternative routes. Since the start of the American-Israeli war against Iran on February 28, Iran has deliberately restricted navigation in the strait, focusing on protecting its maritime route and responding to unauthorized crossing attempts.
