Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps has fired shots at at least two commercial ships while attempting to traverse the Strait of Hormuz, according to a statement from the British Maritime Trade Operations. The statement adds that the crew of the targeted tanker is safe. Iranian officials, however, claim that the American side is engaging in piracy by maintaining naval blockades on Iranian ports. They state that the Iranian forces have control over the strategic monitoring and management of the Strait of Hormuz, and that it will remain under strict control until U.S. sanctions on Iranian vessels are lifted.
The incident occurred in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway that connects the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman. The U.S. has maintained a naval blockade on Iranian ports since the 1979 Iranian Revolution. In response, Iran has shut down the Strait of Hormuz, causing a significant increase in oil prices.
The Iranian government has issued a statement claiming that they have warned the U.S. of the consequences of continued aggression, but the American side has refused to listen. Iranian officials have stated that they will not compromise on their rights and will continue to defend their interests.
In a separate incident, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps fired shots at a British oil tanker, the Stena Impero, which was traveling through the Strait of Hormuz. The tanker’s crew was reportedly safe, but the incident highlights the growing tensions between Iran and the West.
The U.S. has called for an extension of the 120-day deadline for the withdrawal of troops from Syria, which is set to expire on March 15. The U.S. has also announced that it will not extend the deadline for the withdrawal of its troops from Afghanistan.
