IRGC threatens ‘heavy’ response to US attacks on Iranian tankers, vessels

Iran’s navy threatened a ‘heavy assault’ on American centers in the region in response to any aggression against its tankers and vessels, escalating tensions following recent US actions including a maritime blockade and disabling Iranian ships. The US has redirected commercial vessels and targeted Iranian vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, leading to a tit-for-tat exchange of maritime measures. Diplomatic efforts are ongoing, but the situation remains volatile.
