“The defeated and aggressor U.S. terrorist military, out of desperation, attacked several Iranian commercial and oil vessels,” said the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), according to Iranian state media.”This powerful battle will continue.”
The IRGC on Wednesday claimed to have targeted two U.S. vessels and eight oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz as part of its wider retaliatory operations, as reported by Iranian state media.
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), in response, denied the IRGC’s claims, saying that “no U.S. Navy warship has been struck” as “all IRGC attempted attacks failed.”
“The U.S. warship successfully evaded the attempted Iranian attacks and continued to patrol regional waters. No American personnel were harmed,” said the U.S. defense force.
The U.S. and Iran are trading retaliatory attacks as President Donald Trump pursues a campaign of military and economic pressure on Iran, with Tehran threatening it could escalate the conflict further by targeting U.S. oil and gas interests in the Gulf.
Iran-backed Houthis escalate regional instability with attacks on Saudi oil infrastructure
Meanwhile, the Iran-backed Houthi militia in Yemen contributed to the regional instability by launching attacks on four cities in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, with the aim of targeting oil infrastructure.
The attacks came after weeks of escalation between the Houthis and the Saudi-backed government of Yemen, shattering a four-year informal cease-fire in the country's civil war.
The renewed fighting threatens to further disrupt shipping through the Bab al-Mandeb strait, a critical trade route off the Arabian Peninsula for oil and global commerce.
