Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy claims to have shot down a US MQ-9 drone over Bushehr using a new air defense system. Separately, projectiles reportedly fired by the US landed near Yazd, with no casualties reported. Yemen's government condemned Iranian missile and drone attacks on Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and Jordan as violations of sovereignty and international law.

Pete Hegseth, the US secretary of war, stated that Iran made a poor choice after the US launched a third round of strikes against Iran. The escalation followed Iran's IRGC Navy attacking a container ship in the Strait of Hormuz, leading to a missing crew member and significant damage to the vessel.

Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz after a vessel was struck for switching off its systems, warning of a 'severe response' to retaliation. The US military launched new strikes following the incident.

The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy has temporarily closed the Strait of Hormuz until further notice, citing foreign interference and unauthorized shipping routes. A vessel that ignored warnings and disabled its systems was stopped after warning shots were fired. The closure will remain in effect until U.S. involvement in the region ceases, with threats of forceful responses to further violations.

Iran's navy intercepted an oil tanker near the Strait of Hormuz after it attempted to pass through the waterway in violation of Iranian restrictions. State media IRIB reported explosions linked to the confrontation, citing military sources that stated the vessel was compelled to comply with a transit ban following warnings from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy.
