Yet another US oil tanker set on fire in Persian Gulf

TEHRAN, Mar. 11 (MNA) – IRGC said Thursday that its naval forces targeted an American oil tanker in the north of Persian Gulf after it had ignored the navigation regulation and the ban.

The IRGC Public Relations Department said in a statement on Thursday that “At dawn today, the US-owned ship ‘Safe Sea' carrying the Marshall Islands flag as one of the assets of the US terrorist army was hit in the northern Persian Gulf after it disobeyed and ignored the warnings and ban of the IRGC Navy.”

“Oil tankers and vessels operating in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz should know that this insecurity is the result of the US's oppressive aggression in this region, and in order to maintain their safety and security, they must act in accordance with the rules and regulations of passage in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz in war conditions declared by the IRGC if they want to remain safe from being hit by stray projectiles,” the IRGC statement added.
