Retaliatory strike by IRGC follows US aggression on Iranian tankers

The IRGC’s naval command described the recent strikes as a proportional response to what it called "terrorist" behavior by the U.S. military. The Iranian statement highlighted that the two American vessels and eight oil tankers suffered significant damage, while ten additional ships attempting to cross the Hormuz Strait were also engaged. The IRGC emphasized that the Strait remains under its strict surveillance and that any vessel receiving U.S. support will be considered a legitimate target.
