IRGC warns action against "violating" ships will extend beyond Hormuz
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said they struck an LPG carrier trying to use an unauthorized route through the Strait of Hormuz and warned that ships breaking their rules will be pursued and punished anywhere in the region.
The IRGC said it hit the engine room and propulsion system of the “giant” LPG carrier Sun Shine as it tried to cross via an “illegal” route in the southern part of the strait, setting it on fire.
“Actions against violating vessels will not be limited to the Strait of Hormuz,” the Guards said, adding that companies cooperating with the United States would be sanctioned and their vessels targeted. They blamed “the aggressive US army” for the rising tensions at sea.
The strait has been effectively closed since the war began on Feb. 28, with more than a dozen incidents recorded in the week to Oct. 5.
