IRGC claims strikes on US aircraft in Jordan, warns Strait of Hormuz remains unsafe
Meanwhile, the IRGC says two oil tankers exploded and were halted in the southern Strait of Hormuz late last night, according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency.
The IRGC stated that the vessels were attempting to transit through the strategic waterway under what it described as “US coercion”.
“This passage is unsafe for the transport of chemical fertilizer or even a single drop of oil and gas,” the group warned, adding that the corridor would remain unsafe as long as US military operations in the region continue.
In response, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Iran is using Hormuz as leverage, and he has called on other countries to “step up”.
US remains open to diplomatic solution in Iran, Rubio added.
