​​​​​​​Iran welcomes the escorting of oil tankers by US forces through the Strait of Hormuz and waits for it, a spokesperson for the IRGC said on Thursday.

Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy has confiscated two foreign tankers carrying smuggled fuel in the Persian Gulf waters.

Chief commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says Iran hit over a dozen Israeli vessels after the regime targeted Iranian oil tankers in international waters.

The IRGC chief commander says Iran has over the past decades eroded the power of the US and turned it into a “small and weak” state.

The Iranian Navy commander says his force escorts the country’s ships and oil tankers in the Gulf of Aden and the Atlantic Ocean to ensure their safety.
