Iran Strikes U.S. Navy Drones Attempting to Enter the Strait of Hormuz
Xinhua News Agency, Tehran, September 6 - The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran stated on the 6th that the IRGC Navy struck a U.S. military unmanned vessel attempting to enter the "protected area" of the Strait of Hormuz. This came just hours after the U.S. and Iran conducted mutual military strikes.
The IRGC had previously warned that all vessels near the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz "should not be deceived by the U.S. military" and should avoid engaging in "suspicious activities" on any unauthorized routes, or they would become targets of strikes.
The IRGC has repeatedly emphasized that the control and management of the Strait of Hormuz "is solely the responsibility of the IRGC Navy," and any actions that disrupt the order of the strait will be met with a resolute response.
