According to the IRGC statement, the incident began at 1:30 AM today when four oil tankers instigated by the US army, attempted to illegally exit the Strait of Hormuz without coordination. Despite repeated warnings from the IRGC Navy, the vessels proceeded, leading to one tanker being targeted and stopped while the others retreated.
Following this confrontation, at 2:30 AM, U.S. drones struck a telecommunications tower in Qeshm and another in Sirik. In retaliation for these attacks, the IRGC Aerospace Force immediately fired ballistic missiles at Ali al-Salem air base in Kuwait and the remaining facilities of the U.S. Fifth Fleet in Bahrain.
The IRGC issued a stern warning to the "aggressor and child-killing enemy," stating that any repetition of such "villainy" would not be met with a limited response. The statement concluded by holding the enemy responsible for the potential complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz to the exit of oil and gas.
