The IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) affiliated Tasnim News Agency has said that “following the continuation of Iran’s naval blockade, Iranian armed forces today turned back two additional oil tankers from passing through the Strait of Hormuz” on Sunday.
Tasnim says that these two tankers, “sailing under the flags of Botswana and Angola”, wanted to transit through Hormuz but were “forced to change course and retreat due to the timely action of the armed forces of Iran”.
It follows the Iranian announcement that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the US lifts its blockade on Iranian ports.
