Iran Attacks Six Ships In Strait Of Hormuz After US Hits Oil Tankers, IRGC Issues Stark Warning

According to a report by Times Now, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy has claimed to have targeted six vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. The report alleges that three of these vessels were oil tankers, while the remaining three were identified as US-affiliated ships. The IRGC stated that these actions were taken in direct retaliation for alleged US strikes against three Iranian oil tankers.

The Strait of Hormuz serves as one of the world's most critical maritime chokepoints, and any disruption to shipping in the region carries significant implications for global energy markets and regional security. Tensions between Tehran and Washington have remained elevated, with Iran recently issuing warnings of a 'faster, heavier, and more painful response' to perceived US aggression.

As of this time, there has been no independent confirmation of these specific maritime engagements from international naval authorities or shipping monitors. The situation remains fluid, and international observers are monitoring the region for further developments or official statements from the US Department of Defense regarding the status of its affiliated vessels in the area.
