The naval arm of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says two oil tankers have been abandoned in the Strait of Hormuz after striking naval mines overnight, Iran’s Tasnim agency reports. The IRGC Navy said the vessels had their navigation and identification systems switched off and were transiting through Hormuz under the cover of US fighter jets when they hit mines and “suffered a massive explosion”. “They are now burning heavily and have been abandoned,” the IRGC said.

A supertanker following an unauthorised route in the Strait of Hormuz was hit this morning, according to the IRGC Navy, which added that it was the third vessel struck in the waterway in the last two days. “Like previous offenders, this tanker – having deactivated its navigation system and ignored warnings from the IRGC Navy – intended to exit the Strait of Hormuz and disrupt its order and security,” a statement quoted by Iran’s state-run media said. “Consequently, it was struck.”

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says a third oil supertanker has struck a naval mine in the Strait of Hormuz in the past 24 hours.

IRGC says it hit tanker ‘illegally’ transiting Hormuz, causing ‘massive’ fire

Fri, 09 Oct 2026 13:23:21 +0000

Iran’s IRGC says it struck a “giant LPG gas carrier named NV Sunshine” that was “attempting to pass through the illegal route” south of the Strait of Hormuz. In a statement shared by the semi-official Tasnim news agency, the IRGC said the carrier “suffered a massive fire in the engine room and propulsion system”. “The IRGC Navy sailors are in charge of managing the Strait and will not allow the presence of aggressive armies in this region, and will deal decisively with the enemy’s mischief to disrupt this management,” the statement added. The United Kingdom Maritime ⁠Trade Operations ⁠separately reported a ⁠vessel ⁠was struck by an unknown projectile ⁠13 nautical miles west ⁠of Al Jazeera in the United Arab Emirates, causing a fire that has since been extinguished. It was not immediately clear if it was the same incident.

IRGC Navy official says ‘non-compliant vessels in Hormuz are punished every night’

Fri, 09 Oct 2026 05:36:07 +0000

Ali Mohammadi, political deputy of the IRGC Navy, says Iranian forces have been carrying out operations every night in the Strait of Hormuz against vessels Tehran considers to be violating its rules. Speaking to Iran’s Fars news agency, Mohammadi said the IRGC Navy had maintained “complete and absolute” surveillance of the strait since the first day of the war and would continue both offensive and defensive operations. He also rejected figures cited by US President Donald Trump and media outlets about the amount of oil passing through Hormuz, saying estimates of three million to eight million barrels were “incorrect”. According to Mohammadi, those figures amounted to “media speculation” aimed at lowering oil prices and influencing the market. He added that the IRGC Navy could impose its will “at any point” in the Strait of Hormuz on vessels it considers to be in violation, and accused the United States of creating insecurity in the Gulf and the wider region.

IRGC Navy official to Trump: ‘The oil market also understands that you are lying’

Thu, 08 Oct 2026 04:57:53 +0000

Ali Mohammadi, deputy political commander of Iran’s IRGC Navy, has rejected the US president’s claims about the movement of oil and ships through the Strait of Hormuz. “If oil and ships are really passing through the Strait of Hormuz, why isn’t the oil market reacting accordingly? Because the market also understands that you are lying,” the Fars news agency quoted Mohammadi as saying. He also questioned US claims that the IRGC Navy had been destroyed, asking why US forces remained “600 to 700km away” (about 370 to 435 miles) and were not approaching the strait. Mohammadi said the IRGC Navy maintains “full oversight” of vessel movements in the Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman.

IRGC commander Ali Fadavi says Iranian forces have pushed the US military back some 1,000km (621 miles) from Iran’s borders.

He also dismissed oil flows through the US-supervised route in the Strait of Hormuz as negligible.

NEW | The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) is reportedly supporting Houthi efforts to develop infrastructure in the Houthis' newly-captured territory along Yemen’s southwestern coast that the group could use to consolidate its recent territorial gains around the Bab al Mandeb and establish long-term leverage over international shipping. Two Houthi military sources told AFP on September 19 that IRGC personnel visited recently-captured Houthi territory along Yemen’s Red Sea coastline and supervised Houthi efforts to construct tunnels along the mountainous terrain surrounding the port city of Mokha in Taiz Governorate. US President Donald Trump reportedly decided to refrain from striking Houthi targets in Yemen “for the time being” on September 20.
