Iran’s IRGC says it attacks ships daily in Strait of Hormuz

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps says its forces regularly attack small vessels and block their passage through the Strait of Hormuz. Spokesperson Hossein Mohebbi described daily “military conflict” in an interview with the semi-official Fars news agency. “We have been hitting small ships and preventing them from passing for a long time, but America does not respond,” he said. Iranian leaders are examining Washington’s response to Tehran’s offer to reopen the strait if the US ends its economic warfare. Qatar relayed the American proposal. Separately, the UK Maritime Trade Operations agency reported attacks targeting at least three commercial ships in the waterway on Tuesday.
