Iran Strikes Ships, Expands No-Go Zone Outside Hormuz Strait
The Guards said they struck 2 US vessels, 8 oil tankers and 10 other ships as oil prices rose above $100 a barrel.
- On Wednesday, Iran's Revolutionary Guards attacked more than a dozen vessels and announced an expanded "prohibited zone" outside the Strait of Hormuz, designating targets as "non-compliant vessels."
- Fighting escalated after American forces destroyed five Iranian oil tankers on Tuesday, with the US military saying it "directed the crews to abandon ship" before striking the vessels.
- Retaliating against the tanker destruction, the Revolutionary Guards struck a US military base in Jordan; Jordan's army intercepted 18 missiles, while the clashes pushed oil prices above $100 per barrel.
- The International Atomic Energy Agency board voted Wednesday to refer Iran to the UN Security Council over nuclear non-compliance; the resolution passed 23 votes to three, with Russia, China, and Niger opposed.
- Guards spokesman Hossein Mohebi demanded release of $24 billion in frozen assets and stated the conflict could cease if Washington ends regional blockades, warning uncoordinated vessels would face sanctions.
