\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said that two oil tankers attempting to leave an “unsafe route” south of the Strait of Hormuz turned back after a fire broke out on one of the vessels, according to Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB.<\/p>\n
In a statement the IRGC said, “Last night, two oil tankers, provoked by American birds, attempted to leave the unsafe route south of the Strait of Hormuz. After a severe fire broke out in one of them, both vessels quickly turned back.”<\/p>\n
The IRGC asserted control over the strategic waterway, saying, “The Strait of Hormuz is our land, and the IRGC’s navy sailors have full control over it, and a stranger who has come from thousands of kilometres away will not be allowed to interfere.”<\/p>\n
“With the help of God Almighty, the aggressor will be punished today,” it added.<\/p>\n
The IRGC also issued a warning to countries supporting the alleged aggressor [US]. — ANI\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said that two oil tankers attempting to leave an “unsafe route” south…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":228962,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[28],"tags":[158,5147,102,1259,281,52729,2206,52730,52728,101],"class_list":["post-228961","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-strait-of-hormuz","tag-breaking-news","tag-columns","tag-hormuz","tag-india-news","tag-interviews","tag-live-commentary","tag-live-updates","tag-news-india","tag-rediff","tag-strait-of-hormuz"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/117008216156079962","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228961","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=228961"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228961\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/228962"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=228961"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=228961"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=228961"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
