BREAKING: Iran BOMBS US Oil Tanker In Persian Sea after IRGC BLOCKS Strait Of Hormuz
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed it struck multiple oil tankers linked to the United States and its allies. Iranian reports say missiles and drone boats targeted vessels near the Strait of Hormuz, including the Marshall Islands–flagged tanker MKD VYOM, which caught fire after being hit, leaving one crew member dead and several others injured.
The IRGC’s public relations office announced that a US oil tanker was targeted at dawn on Thursday in northern Gulf waters and confirmed that was set ablaze.
The IRGC said it would track and target any ship attempting illegal passage through the Strait of Hormuz, adding, “We have warned that military and commercial vessels belonging to the US, Europe, Israel, and their allies will not be allowed to pass.”
It emphasized that navigation through the Strait of Hormuz is under Iran’s control according to international laws and wartime regulations.
Another tanker, Skylight, was struck near Oman waters, forcing its crew to evacuate.
Iran has also issued a dramatic warning that the Strait of Hormuz is now “closed” to US, Israeli, and European-linked ships, threatening attacks on any vessel attempting to pass.
While the strait is not physically blocked, the escalating attacks and threats have already slashed shipping traffic by nearly 80 percent, raising fears of a major disruption to global oil supplies as the crisis in one of the world’s most critical energy corridors intensifies.
Iran announced on Thursday that drones belonging to the naval forces of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps struck US aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln after it approached Iranian territorial waters in the Sea of Oman.
The spokesperson said the USS Abraham Lincoln retreated rapidly from the area following the strike, accompanied by its escorting destroyers, adding that the carrier group has since withdrawn to a distance exceeding 1,000 kilometers from the region.

IRGC: “OVER 100 US TROOPS KILLED IN KUWAIT, 680 IN ISRAEL” Many Attacks to Military Bases
Iran’s armed forces carried out a series of coordinated operations on Tuesday across multiple theaters in West Asia, targeting United States and Israeli military assets as part of the ongoing retaliatory strikes.
The operations were conducted by different branches of the Iranian armed forces, including the Aerospace and Ground Forces of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), the IRGC Navy, the IRGC Ground Forces, and units of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army (Artesh).
Iranian forces launched 10 drones toward the US Marine Corps base at Camp Arifjan in Kuwait in what was described as a combined drone–missile operation.
Iran unleashes its top kamikaze drones which speeds up to 510 km/h
Iran just used its cutting-edge Hadid-110 kamikaze drones in real combat for the first time, packing blistering speeds up to 510 km/h and ultra-low radar signatures that slip past Western defenses.
The Hadid-110 surges at 510 km/h while slashing its radar cross-section below 0.02 square meters through advanced airframe designs and radar-absorbing materials
These drones evade detection by F-15E fighters’ APG-82(V)1 radars and E-3C sentry planes at far shorter ranges compared to older Shahed-136 models
With over 350 km of operational range carrying a 30 kg warhead, they precisely target critical infrastructure along the Persian Gulf’s western shores
Opting for lighter warheads unlocks even greater strike distances, pushing threats deeper into adversary territories without added fuel

“The CIA has ordered the evacuation of all its stations within range of Iranian ballistic missiles”, The News Pravda USA reports quoting American sources.
The decision would have been made after two suspected Iranian kamikaze drones struck the CIA station on the territory of the US Embassy complex in Riyadh.
If true, Considering that the IRGC’s most sophisticated rockets can reach up to 2,000 km in range, this means that almost all of the Central Intelligence Agency’s operational sites in the Middle East could be left and and will have to rely only on secret locations that already exist and, therefore, are no longer legally recognized and protected by diplomatic immunity.
