Iran announces targeting of US ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz
On the other hand, Alireza Tangsari, the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Navy, has warned that any US or allied military ship passing through the Strait of Hormuz will be targeted.
This statement by Alireza Tangsari, the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Navy, came after the US Secretary of Energy said that the US Navy provided a protective barrier for an oil tanker passing through the Strait of Hormuz, a statement he later deleted from social media.
According to the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Navy, the claim that an oil tanker is passing through the Strait of Hormuz under US military protection is completely baseless.
He said that if any US or allied fleet tries to pass through this route, it will be stopped by Iranian missiles and suicide drones.
