IRGC Navy warns US of retaliation against regional bases over strait incidents

Single source · 2026-10-22 04:16 UTC

The IRGC Navy warned the United States that continued ship incidents in the strait could bring retaliation against US bases across the region, as relayed by Tasnim News, Middle East Eye and Reuters-attributed reports. The IRGC Navy's own vessel-hit figure differs between sources: Middle East Eye and a Reuters-attributed headline say seven vessels were hit over the past day, while a Haaretz-attributed report quotes Iran as saying it struck four vessels. One single-post claim, from a Telegram osint channel, says the IRGC accuses the US of encouraging ships to cross mined waters.
