Three “offending” oil tankers were targeted and stopped, the navy command of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced.
“A few hours ago, three offending tankers, which continued to move along an unsafe and illegal route despite our warnings, were targeted and stopped,” it said in a statement carried by state media.
The IRGC warned that “illegal interventions and orders of the US, a child-killing army, will not go unanswered by vessels in the region”.
