Iranian Revolutionary Guard Threatens Tanker in Strait of Hormuz

A tanker crossing the Strait of Hormuz received a warning from Iran’s Revolutionary Guard to turn back or face being targeted, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations authority said Monday.

The warning was directed at the vessel as it transited the strait, according to the authority’s account.

The brief report did not identify the tanker or provide details about its flag, cargo or destination.

It also did not say whether the vessel complied with the warning or whether any attack followed.
