US Central Command: The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran claims that a Panamanian tanker recently hit a water mine in the Strait of Hormuz. This statement is untrue. Fact: The Panamanian tanker El Gaea was attacked by an Iranian missile last month and lost its ability to sail. While the ship was anchored off the coast of Oman this weekend, Iran once again attacked it using drones. Currently, the tanker is being towed by partner vessels in the region. The false claims made by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran once again confirm its lies and deterrent attempts, with the intention of disrupting the passage of merchant ships within the strait.
