In response to "this act of aggression and violation of the rules of the Strait of Hormuz," the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps attacked the "Panaya," a vessel belonging to the US and Israel, with missiles. The statement said that in a new round of aggression, the US military attacked a communication tower of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps located in the south of Qeshm Island.
