Iran’s military command has said it will target any ship transiting the Strait of Hormuz, after it struck two vessels attempting to pass through the strategic waterway, AFP reports.
“Any vessel traffic through the Strait of Hormuz will be targeted” the Khatam al-Anbiya command said, according to Tasnim news agency, adding that the strait is now “completely closed to all types of vessel”, following fresh US airstrikes against Iran.
The Iranian navy, quoted by state television IRIB and the Mehr agency, said that “two ships attempting to illegally pass through the Strait of Hormuz were hit”.
