BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 6. Iran’s Fars news agency reports that the Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has shared a sequence of events detailing the latest exchange of fire between US and Iranian forces:
According to the IRGC, the clashes began when four oil tankers “guided” by the US military “attempted to illegally exit the Strait of Hormuz” TurkicWorld reports via aljazeera.
The IRGC says its navy issued a warning after which one of the “oil tankers was targeted and stopped, and the other offending vessels turned back”.
Shortly after, according to the IRGC, “American drones hit a telecommunications port in Qeshm and a port in Sirik with two projectiles.”
The IRGC retaliated by targeting two US air bases in Kuwait and the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet in Bahrain “in response”.
“We warn the aggressor and child-killing enemy that if these evils are repeated, a limited response will not suffice. You will be responsible for the consequences of the complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz to the export of oil and gas,” the IRGC said in a statement.
