TEHRAN, Iran — Sinabi ng Iran’s Revolutionary Guards na hinarang nila ang tatlong oil tanker na dumaraan sa Strait of Hormuz, habang nagpapatuloy ang tensyon sa pagitan ng Iran at Estados Unidos sa mahalagang rutang pandagat.
Ayon sa pahayag ng Revolutionary Guards, sinubukan umano ng tatlong tanker na dumaan sa rutang may mga nakatanim na mina sa timog ng Strait of Hormuz.
“Three oil tankers, provoked and tempted by the child-killing American army, were trying to pass through the mine-laid route south of the Strait of Hormuz, but after one of them exploded and caught fire, the other two quickly turned around and turned back.”
Hindi tinukoy ng Iran kung kailan nangyari ang insidente.
Iginiit din ng Revolutionary Guards na kontrolado nila ang Strait of Hormuz at nagbabala sa mga barkong dadaan nang walang koordinasyon sa Iran.
“The powerful IRGC Navy emphasizes that the Strait of Hormuz is under our control… and any ship that is deceived by the US and intends to pass without coordination with the Islamic Republic of Iran will suffer the same fate.” 3 oil tanker sa Strait of Hormuz. RNT/MDS
