IRGC media says Iran turned back two more tankers in Hormuz

Iran’s armed forces turned back two more tankers attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday, Tasnim news agency reported, saying the move came amid the continuing US maritime blockade on Iran.

According to the report, the two vessels were sailing under the flags of Botswana and Angola and were forced to change course after trying to pass through the strategic waterway.

Tasnim said Iranian forces acted after issuing warnings and described the transit as unauthorized.
