—❗️🇮🇷/🇺🇸 BREAKING: In the past few hours, the IRGC Navy has begun substantially escalating its targeting of violating vessels in the Strait of Hormuz
Anti-ship cruise missiles and drones were launched at various vessels. Simultaneously, fast-attack boats of the IRGC Navy are engaging hostile tankers with guided rockets, Dushka machine guns, and small arms.
According to reliable reports, at least 3 vessels have been struck so far, and a fourth one has decided to turn around. Some reports even mention that up to 6 vessels were struck (unconfirmed).

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: At least some of the missiles fired tonight into the Strait of Hormuz carried naval mines
Iran is once again laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, this time apparently in the illegal Omani route.
It is unclear how many of such mines were launched by Iran, and if their deployment was successful.
