Amid rising tensions between Tehran and Washington in the Persian Gulf, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) warned on Saturday that any further attack on Iranian oil tankers or commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz would lead to a “massive attack” on US military assets and ships in the region.In a statement posted on Twitter, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy Command said, “Warning! Any aggression against Iranian oil tankers and commercial vessels will result in a massive attack on US facilities and enemy ships in the area.”<\/p>\n

Iran threatens ‘massive attack’ on US targets; ‘Drones and missiles attack targets…’<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Shortly afterwards, the IRGC Aerospace Force claimed that Iranian missiles and drones were already targeting US military assets and naval vessels in the area.“IRGC Aerospace Force missiles and drones have engaged US bases and enemy aggressor ships in the area. We are awaiting orders to fire,” the post reads.The warning came a day after the United States Central Command said US naval forces had disabled two Iranian-flagged oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman as part of the ongoing blockade campaign against Iran.According to CENTCOM, the unloaded tankers M\/T Sea Star III and M\/T Sevda were prevented from reaching Iranian ports after U.S. Navy F\/A-18 Super Hornets operating from the USS George HW Bush fired precision ammunition into the ships’ smokestacks.CENTCOM said U.S. forces have disabled four Iranian vessels since April 13 and redirected 58 commercial vessels during the blockade period.The latest developments follow gunfire between US naval forces and Iranian assets near the Strait of Hormuz, a key global energy transit route, earlier this week.US President Donald Trump confirmed on Thursday that three US Navy destroyers were attacked while passing through the strait, but said the ships passed successfully.In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the destroyers “passed very successfully” despite being fired upon by Iranian forces. He also claimed that the Iranian naval boats involved in the confrontation were “completely destroyed” and said that missiles and drones targeting US ships had been intercepted.Iranian media, citing the IRGC, reiterated the warning separately on Saturday, saying that any attacks on Iranian tankers would lead to retaliation against “US facilities and enemy ships in the area.”The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world’s most strategically important maritime chokepoints, holding a large share of global oil shipments.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
