IRGC Threatens Hormuz Oil Traffic Until U.S. Strikes End

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warned that the Strait of Hormuz would remain unsafe for petrochemical cargoes and even a drop of oil or gas while U.S. military operations continued in the region. The Guard claimed two tankers attempting to use what it called an unsafe southern passage exploded and could no longer move. Iranian state media repeated the two-tanker claim, while a Hebrew report carried the broader shipping threat. Separately, the British military's maritime agency reported one ship on fire near Oman, but the cause was unclear, leaving the Guard's account and the number of vessels involved independently unconfirmed.
