The IRGC spokesperson added that US interventions in Iran “have no effect on the world except the energy crisis and the reduction of agricultural fertilizers.”<\/p>\n
Sirens sounded in Kuwait on Thursday morning, according to reports from the Kuwait Interior Ministry.<\/p>\n
The Kuwaiti army said that the country’s air defense systems were intercepting “hostile Iranian drone threats.”<\/p>\n
Hours later, an oil tanker caught on fire after hitting an Iranian mine in the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday morning.<\/p>\n
The IRGC spokesperson claimed responsibility for the attack, saying, “Three oil tankers, incited and tempted by the US military, attempted to pass through a mined area south of the Strait of Hormuz; following a massive explosion and fire aboard one of the vessels, the other two quickly turned around and retreated.”<\/p>\n
The statement claimed that the Strait of Hormuz is under IRGC control, a claim that US Central Command refuted on Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n
The IRGC spokesperson added that US interventions in Iran “have no effect on the world except the energy crisis and the reduction of agricultural fertilizers.”<\/p>\n
“These evils will not result in anything for you except greater discredit and the irreparable defeat that you will soon taste,” they threatened.<\/p>\n
The Revolutionary Guards added that they had acheived “victory over the aggressor enemy [The US].”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The IRGC spokesperson added that US interventions in Iran “have no effect on the world except the energy…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":219174,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[28],"tags":[63237,102,34,424,35,1097,101,63238],"class_list":["post-219173","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-strait-of-hormuz","tag-agricultural-fertilizers","tag-hormuz","tag-iran","tag-irgc","tag-kuwait","tag-oil-tanker","tag-strait-of-hormuz","tag-us-interventions"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/116967081416361041","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219173","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=219173"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219173\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/219174"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=219173"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=219173"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=219173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
