Iran claims to have attacked important facilities of the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet again
Svmuu reported that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran issued a statement claiming that at 1:30 a.m. local time today (June 6), "four violative oil tankers, incited and directed by the U.S. military, attempted to illegally exit the Strait of Hormuz without coordination and while ignoring the established warnings of the Revolutionary Guard Navy." After the Revolutionary Guard issued warnings, it intercepted one of the oil tankers, while the other violating vessels turned back. The statement said that at 2:00 a.m., a U.S. military drone opened fire on a communications facility on Iran's Qeshm Island and the port of Sirik. In response to the U.S. military's aggressive actions, the Revolutionary Guard's Aerospace Force immediately launched ballistic missiles, striking the U.S. Air Force base in Kuwait and important facilities of the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet in Bahrain. The statement emphasized that Iran warns the enemy, "If such evil acts are repeated, limited responses will no longer be sufficient, and the enemy will have to bear the consequences of a complete halt in oil and gas exports through the Strait of Hormuz."
